- Reading training in normal and dyslexic readers and associated changes at the neural level
- Prediction of reading skills and training effects based on neural measures (using traditional regression and machine learning approaches)
- Topographic EEG analysis methods and their combination with other techniques (such as eye tracking or fMRI)
