Abstract

Dyslexia is a hidden learning disability that causes difficulties in reading and writing despite average intelligence. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the upcoming methods being researched for identifying unique brain activation patterns in dyslexics. This paper examines pros and cons of existing EEG-based analysis and classification frameworks for dyslexia and recommends optimizations through the findings to assist future research.
