Hi Ray. I am so glad you benefited from this talk. I gave this talk for the general public last year and try to get knowledge from lab to real life for this very purpose, so it means a lot to me that you benefited from it. To say you have dyslexia may be true, it may be more accurate to say you could have a deficit of visual attention that leads to dyslexia and other things. You could always get tested if you were interested. To read more work , visit my website at lauriecestnick (.com)

Fascinating. A dear friend of mine just had a right side stroke and was told he has left side neglect. He is an AVID reader, a graphic and layout designer, and a photographer as a hobby. We are very concerned about getting him the best therapy possible and are in the process of finding out all the information we can about this.
