Key findings
- Reading and phonological awareness improved, maintained at 2-month follow-up
- Coherence normalized at several sites; band power changed little
A single-subject-design study of six children (8-10 years) with reading disability who had 20 half-hour neurofeedback sessions. Reading and phonological awareness improved and gains held at two months; EEG coherence normalized rather than band power changing.
