Abnormalities in network dynamics of children with reading difficulties
Revealed through functional connectivity analysis of Resting State MEG signals

Functional Connectivity analysis of Resting State MEG signals revealed abnormalities in network dynamics of children with reading difficulties

• Normal (NI) and children with reading difficulties (RD) showed scale-free global connectivity dynamics.
• RD children displayed reduced resting-state network organization at the sensor level of MEG recordings.
• Local and Global efficiency measures correlated with reading ability.
• Reduced temporal correlations were identified over left temporoparietal sensors .
• The application of blind source separation contributed to the detection of abnormalities.
