Guinevere Eden received her D.Phil. from Oxford University and has since focused on the application of functional neuroimaging techniques to study the neural basis of developmental dyslexia.  The Center for the Study of Learning is funded by the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health.  In collaboration with Gallaudet University and Wake Forest School of Medicine, the CSL’s research focuses on the neural representation of reading and how it may be altered in individuals with developmental disorders or altered early sensory experience.  Further, she and her colleagues are researching how reading is impacted by instructions or mode of communication and are utilizing functional MRI to study the neurobiological correlates of reading remediation.

Dr. Eden also serves as a scientific co-director for the Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2) at Gallaudet University.  The purpose of VL2 is to gain a greater understanding of the biological, cognitive, linguistic, socio-cultural, and pedagogical conditions that influence the acquisition of language and knowledge through the visual modality.

Dr. Eden teaches students enrolled in the graduate neuroscience program.  She is currently a vice-president of the International Dyslexia Association and serves on the editorial boards of the Annals of Dyslexia, Dyslexia, and Human Brain Mapping.  She has served as a permanent member of a standing NIH Study Section and as ad-hoc member and chair for special emphasis panels.
