[A case of reading epilepsy: effects of attention and reading tests on EEG and "H" reflex]

The effects of attention and reading tests on the EEG and the H reflex were studied in a patient affected by primary reading epilepsy. During the attention tests, EEG was normal while H reflex was facilitated. On the contrary, during reading tests, EEG showed typical epileptic seizures while at the same time, the H reflex was depressed.
