The electrical activity of the neural processes involved in cognitive functions is captured in EEG signals, allowing the exploration
of the integration and coordination of neuronal oscillations across multiple spatiotemporal scales. We have proposed
a novel approach that combines the transformation of EEG signal into image sequences, considering cross-frequency phase
synchronisation (CFS) dynamics involved in low-level auditory processing, with the development of a two-stage deep learning
model for the detection of developmental dyslexia (DD). This deep learning model exploits spatial and temporal information
preserved in the image sequences to find discriminative patterns of phase synchronisation over time achieving a balanced
accuracy of up to 83%. This result supports the existence of differential brain synchronisation dynamics between typical and
dyslexic seven-year-old readers. Furthermore, we have obtained interpretable representations using a novel feature mask
to link the most relevant regions during classification with the cognitive processes attributed to normal reading and those
corresponding to compensatory mechanisms found in dyslexia.
