    k-Means clustering by using the calculated Z-scores from QEEG data of children with dyslexia
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Eroğlu, Günet; Arman, Fehim
    Learning the subtype of dyslexia may help shorten the rehabilitation process and focus more on the relevant special education or diet for children with dyslexia. For this purpose, the resting-state eyes-open 2-min QEEG measurement data were collected from 112 children with dyslexia (84 male, 28 female) between 7 and 11 years old for 96 sessions per subject on average. The z-scores are calculated for each band power and each channel, and outliers are eliminated afterward. Using the k-Means clustering method, three different clusters are identified. Cluster 1 (19% of the cases) has positive z-scores for theta, alpha, beta-1, beta-2, and gamma-band powers in all channels. Cluster 2 (76% of the cases) has negative z-scores for theta, alpha, beta-1, beta-2, and gamma-band powers in all channels. Cluster 3 (5% of the cases) has positive z-scores for theta, alpha, beta-1, beta-2, and gamma-band powers at AF3, F3, FC5, and T7 channels and mostly negative z-scores for other channels. In Cluster 3, there is temporal disruption which is a typical description of dyslexia. In Cluster 1, there is a general brain inflammation as both slow and fast waves are detected in the same channels. In Cluster 2, there is a brain maturation delay and a mild inflammation. After Auto Train Brain training, most of the cases resemble more of Cluster 2, which may mean that inflammation is reduced and brain maturation delay comes up to the surface which might be the result of inflammation. Moreover, Cluster 2 center values at the posterior parts of the brain shift toward the mean values at these channels after 60 sessions. It means, Auto Train Brain training improves the posterior parts of the brain for children with dyslexia, which were the most relevant regions to be strengthened for dyslexia.

    Assessing dyslexia with machine learning: a pilot study utilizing Google ML Kit
    (IEEE, 2023-12-19) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    In this study, we explore the application of Google ML Kit, a machine learning development kit, for dyslexia detection in the Turkish language. We collected face-tracking data from two groups: 49 dyslexic children and 22 typically developing children. Using Google ML Kit and other machine learning algorithms based on eye-tracking data, we compared their performance in dyslexia detection. Our findings reveal that Google ML Kit achieved the highest accuracy among the tested methods. This study underscores the potential of machine learning-based dyslexia detection and its practicality in academic and clinical settings.

    Assessing ChatGPT's accuracy in dyslexia inquiry
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    Dyslexia poses challenges in accessing reliable information, crucial for affected individuals and their families. Leveraging chatbot technology offers promise in this regard. This study evaluates the OpenAI Assistant's precision in addressing dyslexia-related inquiries. Three hundred questions commonly posed by parents were categorized and presented to the Assistant. Expert evaluation of responses, graded on accuracy and completeness, yielded consistently high scores (median=5). Descriptive questions scored higher (average=4.9568) than yes/no questions (average=4.8957), indicating potential response challenges. Statistical analysis highlighted the significance of question specificity in response quality. Despite occasional difficulties, the Assistant demonstrated adaptability and reliability in providing accurate dyslexia-related information.

    Electrophysiological signatures of developmental dyslexia: towards EEG-based biomarker identification and neurogenetic correlates
    (MDPI, 2025-06-30) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by altered hemispheric specialization and disrupted phonological processing. In this study, we applied Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to high-dimensional electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from 200 children (100 dyslexic, 100 controls) to extract latent neurophysiological features associated with reading impairment. Our findings revealed significant right-hemisphere dominance in dyslexic individuals, particularly in the P8 electrode within the alpha band, consistent with compensatory neural strategies. Despite the absence of clinical comorbidities or medication use, distinct clustering emerged, supporting the utility of PCA for early screening. Future directions include correlating EEG-derived features with known dyslexia-related gene expression profiles (e.g., DCDC2, KIAA0319), neurotransmitter imbalances, and neuroinflammatory markers. These integrative analyses may establish EEG signals as reliable, non-invasive biomarkers for molecular-level screening in developmental learning disorders.

    Theta and Beta1 frequency band values predict dyslexia classification
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2025-12-29) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
    Dyslexia, impacting children's reading skills, prompts families to seek cost-effective neurofeedback therapy solutions. Utilising machine learning, we identified predictive factors for dyslexia classification. Employing advanced techniques, we gathered 14-channel Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) data from 200 participants, achieving 99.6% dyslexic classification accuracy through cross-validation. During validation, 48% of dyslexic children's sessions were consistently classified as normal, with a 95% confidence interval of 47.31 to 48.68. Focusing on individuals consistently diagnosed with dyslexia during therapy, we found that dyslexic individuals exhibited higher theta values and lower beta1 values compared to typically developing children. This study pioneers machine learning in predicting dyslexia classification factors, offering valuable insights for families considering neurofeedback therapy investment.
