Bridging cognitive and neural theories of reading and its recovery with
representational similarity analysis

Simon Fischer-Baum, Ph.D.
Rice University

There is agreement about the neural regions involved in reading, but
disagreement about the function of those regions. I will present several
recent studies from my lab that use representational similarity analysis (RSA)
as a novel technique for linking brain activity from neuroimaging experiments
with different levels of representation in the cognitive reading system. I
will present results showing how RSA can be used to address longstanding
questions about the function of different brain regions in the reading network
and demonstrate how it can provide a tool for mapping the reorganization of
reading following brain damage.
