I agree with the latter point, but not with the former: see http://deevybee.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/whats-in-name.htmldeevybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118040887173718391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-69154657363444028972012-05-12T04:22:59.068+01:002012-05-12T04:22:59.068+01:00Good idea.

I suggest the best outcome would be for dyslexia to be viewed as a syndrome with the MRI studies to identify the minor factors that individuals may or may not have.<br /><br />It seems that until the round peg of dyslexia is determined not to fit into the square hole of having a single cause with universal problems, people will continue to pick a particular problem and design an intervention based on that problem . <br /><br />The problem isn't that some interventions help many or even most dyslexics to some degree but that they are incomplete and so don't help the dyslexics with specific problems that are not addressed or deal with multiple problems well.<br /><br />Changing the paradigm of viewing dyslexia to being a syndrome should lead to tests of the individual factors which should lead to individualized programs that address each problem for each dyslexic rather than the present rigid fixed interventions which all have non-trivial amounts of non-responders.<br /><br />To date all MRI studies have only studied one or two areas of the brain at a time with the result that differences are only seen in groups with enough overlap that no one can diagnose someone as being dyslexic or not by MRI. This would not be a problem if dyslexia was properly defined as a syndrome. I suspect the information has already been gathered and can be evaluated together as proposed to arrive at better conclusions.hayesatlbchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404937694819904773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-78885911251072875012012-05-07T10:30:22.838+01:002012-05-07T10:30:22.838+01:00Good luck to him, this is important, will be inter...Good luck to him, this is important, will be interesting to see how it works out.Neuroskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647064768789308157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-44882408992874341082012-05-06T20:11:41.369+01:002012-05-06T20:11:41.369+01:00Thanks for your interest.

I believe he has contacted various researchers who work in this field, but my impression is that there are still plenty of research teams who are not aware of the data-sharing project. I think the best thing might be for you to contact the researchers who did the study in Bergen and let them know about Dr Eckert's project, so they can get in touch with him if they think their study is suitable.deevybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118040887173718391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841910768079015534.post-20682638068341120602012-05-06T19:47:41.060+01:002012-05-06T19:47:41.060+01:00Hm, found this very interesting, since I recently ...Hm, found this very interesting, since I recently (10 days ago)had my 12 yr old son, diagnosed with dyslexia and Asperger (and ADHD) participate in MRI-based research on problem solving and stress. The work was carried out at Haukeland Hospital/University of Bergen. Do you actively contact individual researches about the possibility of such pooling of data?Hege F.http://www.miromurr.no/havetnoreply@blogger.com
