New approach to lateralization irregularities formation was proposed. The emphasis is put on the relationship between visual and auditory attention stimulation. In this approach hearing is stimulated using time scale modified speech and sight is stimulated by rendering the text of the currently heard speech. Moreover, displayed text is modified using several techniques i.e. zooming, highlighting etc. In the experimental part of...

Standard ABR devices use clicks and tone bursts to assess subjects’ hearing in an objective way. A new device was developed that extends the functionality of a standard ABR audiometer by collecting and analyzing auditory brainstem responses (ABR). The developed accessory allows for the use of complex sounds (e.g., speech or music excerpts) as stimuli. Therefore, it is possible to find out how efficiently different types of sounds...

Visual and auditory attention stimulator provides a system developed in order to improve reading skills using simultaneous presentation of text in its visual form and in transformed auditory form accompanied by related movie material. The described research employed 40 children at the age of 8 13 years having difficulties in learning of reading, who were diagnosed as having developmental dyslexia. It was shown that application...
