Neurofeedback Effects on EEG Connectivity among Children with Reading Disorders: I. Coherence
2023
Overview
Electroencephalograms (EEGs) of children with reading disorders (RDs) are characterized by a higher theta and a lower alpha than those of typically developing children. Neurofeedback (NFB) may be helpful for treating learning disorders by reinforcing a reduction in the theta/alpha ratio. Several studies have suggested that NFB may lead to EEG power normalization and cognitive improvements. To further explore brain changes in isolated areas, the aim of this study was to explore the effects of an NFB protocol on functional connectivity (coherence) among children with RDs. Twenty children with an RD and an abnormally high theta/alpha ratio underwent 30 NFB sessions, and five children with the same characteristics received a sham NFB treatment. On average, the children in the NFB group showed an increase in reading accuracy and comprehension scores; their coherence diminished in the delta, theta, and beta bands and increased in the alpha band, primarily the theta intrahemispheric coherences of the left hemisphere, which is closely associated with reading. In contrast, children who received the sham NFB treatment did not show reading changes and had few changes in their coherence patterns. These preliminary results suggest that NFB can positively impact reading-related functions in the brain networks of children with RDs.
