Learning Difficulties
& Disabilities.

QEEG-guided neurofeedback for Learning Disorders (LD) works by identifying and modifying specific brainwave patterns that are commonly associated with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory processing, language processing, visual processing, etc. The QEEG helps to map out areas of dysregulation in the brain, offering a clearer understanding of how the brain functions and where improvements can be targeted.

​

Common Brain Patterns Associated with LD:

1. Increased Delta and Theta Activity (Slow Wave Activity): Individuals with LD often shown elevated slow-wave activity, particularly in the frontal and central regions. Increased Delta and Theta may contribute to difficulties with attention, processing speed, and executive function.

​

2. Slow Alpha Activity: Some individuals with LD may show slower alpha activity, which can indicate a lack of efficient processing and can hinder the ability to engage in tasks that require concentration.

​

2. Distinct Region Dysregulation: Particular areas of the brain may show observable patterns associated with specific functions. For example, increased theta in the inferior frontal gyrus and temporo-parietal junction, regions considered crucial for cognitive functions like attention, goal-directed behaviour, and perception.

What Does the Research Say?:

 

A 2023 exploratory study found improved academic performance and self-concept in children with LD who received neurofeedback treatment. Similarly, a 2021 study found that children exhibited a faster response time in working memory tasks following neurofeedback.
