(East Carolina University, 2012)
Reading disorders have been hypothesized to result from an asynchrony between speed of processing characteristics of auditory and visual systems involved in decoding. It is hypothesized that reading at faster rates can ...
Generators of mammalian vestibular surface responses to head motion
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) is thought to be the compound electrical response of peripheral macular neurons and central neural relays, and as such used to directly assess macular function. The ...
