Review of brain computer interface application in diagnosing dyslexia

Dyslexia is one of brain disorders which needs to be detected at an early stage to allow the children to master the basic and to avoid damage to self esteem and self-confidence. In this paper, treatment of dyslexia and researches on dyslexia diagnosis are discussed. Neuro-feedback has high potential to diagnose dyslexia. It has been proven that neuro-feedback is able to improve spelling disorder. Therefore, investigation on the performance of neuro-feedback in diagnosing and treating reading disorder should be carried out.
