Task-driven fMRI has been used to investigate brain
networks during a reading process task in deaf signer,
deaf using spoken language and control subjects; The
study originate from the hypothesis of the existence of
a very basic network that plays the role of general
framework for language processing. The group specific
ICs were identified by ICA and dual regression
technique. Interestingly, we found differences in those
networks which has been recognized implicated to
auditory and to cognition-language processes.
