Reading fluency, the ability to read quickly and accurately, is a critical marker of successful reading and is notoriously difficult to improve in reading disabled populations. Despite its importance to functional literacy, fluency is a relatively under-studied aspect of reading, and the neural correlates of reading…

We investigated the efficacy of graph-theoretic metrics of task-related functional brain connectivity in predicting reading difficulty and explored the hypothesis that task conditions emphasizing audiovisual integration would be especially diagnostic of reading difficulty. An fMRI study was conducted in which 24…

'Laurie E. Cutting'] Background There is a substantial literature on the neurobiology of reading and dyslexia. Differences are often described in terms of individual regions or individual cognitive processes. However, there is a growing appreciation that the brain areas subserving reading are nested within larger…

'Kalanit Grill-Spector'] Math and reading involve distributed brain networks and have both shared (e.g. encoding of visual stimuli) and dissociated (e.g. quantity processing) cognitive components. Yet, to date, the shared vs. dissociated gray and white matter substrates of the math and reading networks are unknown.…

Although extensive insights about the neural mechanisms of reading have been gained via magnetic and electrographic imaging, the temporal evolution of the brain network during sight reading remains unclear. We tested whether the temporal dynamics of the brain functional connectivity involved in sight reading can be…

We investigate how well traditional fiction genres like Fantasy, Thriller, and Literature represent readers' preferences. Using user data from Goodreads we construct a book network where two books are strongly linked if the same people tend to read or enjoy them both. We then partition this network into communities of…

Eye movements have been examined as an index of attention and comprehension during reading in the literature for over 30 years. Although eye-movement measurements are acknowledged as reliable indicators of readers’ comprehension skill, few studies have analyzed eye-movement patterns using network science. In this…

Cognitive functional neuroimaging has been around for over 30 years and has shed light on the brain areas relevant for reading. However, new methodological developments enable mapping the interaction between functional imaging and the underlying white matter networks. In this study, we used such a novel method, called…

Behavioral evidence suggests that engaging with fiction is positively correlated with social abilities. The rationale behind this link is that engaging with fiction and fictional characters may offer a ‘training mode’ for mentalizing and empathizing with sentient agents in the real world, analogous to a flight…

Reading involves dual streams of sensory propagation that lie within a broader sensory-to-transmodal hierarchy. This study explores whether individual differences in this functional organization can be explained by cortical geometry. Through a modified connectome predictive modeling approach, we identified cortical…

4.1### Alpha Activity and Reading Proficiency The low-reading group exhibited slightly higher peak alpha activity compared to the high-reading group, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. This observation is consistent with the complex relationships between alpha activity and cognitive…

Dyslexia is generally diagnosed in childhood and is characterised by poor literacy skills with associated phonological and perceptual problems. Compensated dyslexic readers are adult readers who have a documented history of childhood dyslexia but as adults can read and comprehend written text well. Uncompensated…

'Pádraig Mac Carron' 'Ralph Kenna'] We study temporal networks of characters in literature focusing on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and the anonymous La Chanson de Roland (around 1100). The former, one of the most influential pieces of nonsense literature ever written, describes the…

Diagnosis of alexia has historically focused on syndromes, such as surface alexia, which capture discrete patterns of reading deficits observed in some patients, but do not describe the breadth of reading deficits observed in practice. Aphasia research has recently shifted focus to language process impairments rather…

Alchemical free energy campaigns can be planned using graph theory by building up networks that contain nodes representing molecules that are connected by possible transformations as edges. We introduce Konnektor, an open-source Python package, for systematically planning, modifying, and analyzing free energy…

This article contributes to the network effectiveness literature by identifying the theoretical mechanisms and network measures scholars in public administration and policy use to draw inferences between network structures and network effects. We conducted a systematic review of empirical network effects research in 40…

The world is transforming through a revolution and development in the progression of information and its broadcasting. The number of research journals, books and reports being published the world over has been increasing phenomenally. Currently, about five lakh books, one lakh periodicals, lakhs of patents, thousands…

We present the Netsci program - an open-source scientific software package that leverages GPU acceleration and a k-nearest-neighbor algorithm in order to estimate the mutual information (MI) between data in a set. The GPU acceleration presented here, as an improvement upon existing estimators, enables calculation…

Relative binding free energy (RBFE) calculations are increasingly used to support the ligand optimisation problem in early-stage drug discovery. Because RBFE calculations frequently rely on alchemical perturbations between ligands in a congeneric series, practitioners are required to estimate an optimal combination of…

The construction of a suitable QM region is the most crucial step in setting up hybrid quantum mechanics / molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations for enzymatic reactions. The QM region should ideally include all important amino acids residues, while being as small as possible to save computational effort. Most…

One of the critical tools of persistent homology is the persistence diagram. We demonstrate the applicability of a persistence diagram showing the existence of topological features (here rings in a 2D network) generated over time instead of space as a tool to analyse trajectories of biological networks. We show how the…
