Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people who have had a stroke and now have reading difficulties. Participants will receive two types of reading treatment over a few weeks to see which one works better.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I speak English fluently as my first language before my stroke.
- I have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
- I have normal or aided hearing.
- I had a left hemisphere stroke confirmed by a brain scan.
- I have significant reading difficulties as shown by a reading test.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a neurological disease affecting my brain diagnosed before my stroke.
- I have severe speech problems as judged by speech specialists.
- I have a history of learning disabilities like developmental dyslexia.
- I have major psychiatric disorders that I currently report.
- I cannot provide a post-stroke brain scan.

About This Trial
This study is a low-risk, early phase 1, multicenter trial to test the use of a computational (neural network) cognitive model of reading to simulate acquired dyslexia and its treatment. The aim is to determine whether there is an advantage to receiving the treatment the model predicts to be advantageous compared to the alternative treatment. All participants will receive two full rounds of treatm…
