    A comparison of Auto Train Brain neurofeedback rewarding interfaces in terms of efficacy
    (Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar Üniversitesi, 2023-01-01) Eroğlu, Günet
    Background/aim: Auto Train Brain is a mobile app that was specifically developed for dyslexic children to increase their reading speed and reading comprehension. In the original mobile app, only one unique neurofeedback user interface provided visually and audibly rewarding feedback to the subject with a red-green colored arrow on the screen. Later, new modules are added to the app with the end-users requests. These are the “youtube” video-based interface and “Spotify” auditory-based interface. In this research, we have compared the efficacy of the neurofeedback rewarding interfaces. Materials and methods: The experiment group consists of 20 dyslexic children aged 7-to 10 (15 males, 5 females) who were randomly assigned to one rewarding interface and used it at home for more than six months. Results: The result indicates that though the “youtube” interface is liked most by the participants, the arrow-based simple neurofeedback interface reduces theta brain waves more than other rewarding schemes. On the other hand, “youtube” and “Spotify” based interfaces increase Beta band powers more than the arrow interfaces in the cortex. The ”Spotify” user interface improves the fast brain waves more on the temporal lobes (T7 and T8) as the feedback given was only auditory. Conclusion: The results indicate that the relevant neurofeedback rewarding interface should be chosen based on the dyslexic child’s specific condition.

    Auto Train Brain increases the variance of the gamma band sample entropy in the left hemisphere in dyslexia: a pilot study
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Eroğlu, Günet
    Auto Train Brain is a mobile app that improves reading speed and reading comprehension in dyslexia. The efficacy of Auto Train Brain was proven with a clinical trial. We have analyzed the long-term training effects of the Auto Train Brain on dyslexic children. We have collected QEEG data from 14 channels from 21 dyslexic children for 100 sessions and calculated the sample entropy in the gamma bands for the left posterior brain (T7, P7, and O1). Although the gamma band values fluctuate and no permanent increase in the gamma band values is detected after Auto Train Brain training at T7, P7, and O1, the variance of gamma band sample entropy increases as the neurofeedback session number increases. We have concluded that the Auto Train Brain increases the flexibility of the left brain in dyslexia.

    A mobile app that uses neurofeedback and multi-sensory learning methods improves reading abilities in dyslexia: a pilot study
    (Routledge, 2022-07-03) Eroğlu, Günet; Teber, Serap Tıraş; Ertürk, Kardelen; Kırmızı, Meltem; Ekici, Barış; Arman, Fehim; Balcısoy, Selim Saffet; Özcan, Yusuf Ziya; Çetin, Müjdat
    Reading comprehension is difficult to improve for children with dyslexia because of the continuing demands of orthographic decoding in combination with limited working memory capacity. Children with dyslexia get special education that improves spelling, phonemic and vocabulary awareness, however the latest research indicated that special education does not improve reading comprehension. With the aim of improving reading comprehension, reading speed and all other reading abilities of children with dyslexia, Auto Train Brain that is a novel mobile app using neurofeedback and multi-sensory learning methods was developed. With a clinical study, we wanted to demonstrate the effectiveness of Auto Train Brain on reading abilities. We compared the cognitive improvements obtained with Auto Train Brain with the improvements obtained with special dyslexia training. Auto Train Brain was applied to 16 children with dyslexia 60 times for 30 minutes. The control group consisted of 14 children with dyslexia who did not have remedial training with Auto Train Brain, but who did continue special education. The TILLS test was applied to both the experimental and the control group at the beginning of the experiment and after a 6-month duration from the first TILLS test. Comparison of the pre- and post- TILLS test results indicated that applying neurofeedback and multi-sensory learning method improved reading comprehension of the experimental group more than that of the control group statistically significantly. Both Auto Train Brain and special education improved phonemic awareness and nonword spelling.

    Theta and Beta1 frequency band values predict dyslexia classification
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2025-12-29) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    Dyslexia, impacting children's reading skills, prompts families to seek cost-effective neurofeedback therapy solutions. Utilising machine learning, we identified predictive factors for dyslexia classification. Employing advanced techniques, we gathered 14-channel Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) data from 200 participants, achieving 99.6% dyslexic classification accuracy through cross-validation. During validation, 48% of dyslexic children's sessions were consistently classified as normal, with a 95% confidence interval of 47.31 to 48.68. Focusing on individuals consistently diagnosed with dyslexia during therapy, we found that dyslexic individuals exhibited higher theta values and lower beta1 values compared to typically developing children. This study pioneers machine learning in predicting dyslexia classification factors, offering valuable insights for families considering neurofeedback therapy investment.
