Learning Disabilities Research - EEG and Neurofeedback studies

  • Electroencephalogram Biofeedback for Reading Disability and Traumatic Brain Injury by Thornton KE Ph.D. and Carmody DP Ph.D.

  • Post WISC-R and TOVA improvement with QEEG guided neurofeedback training in mentally retarded: a clinical case series of behavioral problems
    by Surmeli T, Ertem A.
    Fourteen (of 23 children and teens ages 7-16 years old) formerly took medications without any improvement. Twenty-two out of 23 showed clinical improvement with NF training (80 to 160 sessions range) Nineteen improved on the WISC-R, and TOVA.

  • Effect of SMR-Beta Training on Neurocognitive Performance
    by Kaiser D Ph.D.
    One-hundred and two school-aged children (28 female, 74 male, 6-14 y) with impulsive, inattentive, and/or hyperactivity underwent NF training of 20 to 40 sessions, with significant improvement in attention.

  • Neurofeedback for Elementary Students with Identified Learning Problems by Orlando PC Ph.D. and Rivera RO B.S

  • EEG and Behavioral Changes Following Neurofeedback Treatment in Learning Disabled Children by Fernández T, Herrera W, Harmony T, Díaz-Comas L, Santiago E, Sánchez L, Bosch J, Fernández-Bouzas A, Otero G, Ricardo-Garcell J, Barraza C, Aubert E, Galán L, Valdés R

  • Facilitation of Performance on an Arithmetic Task as a Result of the Application of a Biofeedback Procedure to Suppress Alpha Wave Activity
    by Jackson GM and Eberly DA
    Study to decrease percent of incidence of alpha wave activity with five mentally retarded adults while engaged in an arithmetic test.

  • Operant Conditioning of Left-Hemispheric Slow Cortical Potentials and Its Effect on Word Processing by Pulvermüller F, Mohr B, Schleichert H, Veit R
    Feedback of slow cortical potentials (SCPs) above left-hemispheric language cortices found that subjects who achieved reliable control of left-hemispheric brain responses showed substantial modification of language skills.

  • EEG Sensorimotor Rhythm Biofeedback Training: Some Effects on the Neurologic Precursors of Learning Disabilities by Tansey MA

  • EMG and EEG Biofeedback Training in the Treatment of a 10-year-old Hyperactive Boy with a Developmental Reading Disorder by Tansey MA and Bruner RL
    Electromyographic (EMG) and sensorimotor (SMR) biofeedback training of 10-year-old boy with an attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, developmental reading disorder, and ocular instability produced symptom elimination.

  • The Effect of Training Distinct Neurofeedback Protocols on Aspects of Cognitive Performance by Vernon D, Egner T, Cooper N, Compton T, Neilands C, Sheri A, Gruzelier J
    Trained healthy individuals to enhance specific frequencies to influence working memory.
