Dear Marco, we have started to work with Neurofeedback in addition to our main field of expertise which is dyslexia. In this regard we are assessing and training socalled low-level functions in the central processing capabilities of the brain. I can send you publications on the research conducted so far in the field of dyslexia and low-level functions back channel, if you like me to. With the Medical University of Hannover we have obtained norm data for seven such essential low level functions plus we are currently assessing data up to 70 years of age with very interesting results. - There is a strong age development in these parameters. - Dylexics usually are 200-400% poorer in their scores than non-dyslexics their age - Between 20 to 60 years there is a deterioration between 40% to 400% in these functions. - This does not hold true for the group of simultanious translators, who ALL showed EXTREMELY good results in those functions, and that age INDEPENDENT (group consisted of people between 25 and 49 years of age) - These functions can be improved - apparently independend from age - within 5-8 weeks of training. - The training has an intense effect on language performance / reading/writing scores - These low-level functions also - even if not training them - offer a very promissing assessment tool for possible accomplishments of training with Neurofeedback and other means as they are related to very basic language-depending brain capabilities. Maybe this is something you can / want to include in your research / your work with dyslexic children. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
