Enhancing Left Hemisphere Function in Dyslexia: A Pilot Study on 14-Channel Neurofeedback With Auto-Train Brain

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in reading comprehension and speed despite normal intelligence. Neurofeedback training has emerged as a promising intervention to enhance cognitive function in individuals with dyslexia. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Auto Train Brain, a neurofeedback-based mobile application, on gamma band entropy variance, a measure of neural signal complexity in children aged 7–10 diagnosed with dyslexia. Over the course of 30 and 100 neurofeedback sessions, using the EMOTIV INSIGHT (5 channels) and EPOC-X (14 channels) headsets, we analyzed electrophysiological changes to assess neural adaptability. Prior research has established left hemisphere deficits in dyslexia, and neurofeedback has been shown to modulate brain activity. Our findings indicate that both session duration and headset configuration influenced gamma band entropy variance, with longer training (100 sessions) and higher channel count (14) yielding greater improvements in the left temporal lobe. These results suggest enhanced functional neural adaptability, highlighting neurofeedback’s potential as a long-term intervention for improving left hemisphere functionality in children with dyslexia.
