Auto Train Brain is a mobile app that reads EEG signals and builds a personalised cognitive exercise routine for each user.
Sessions combine reading practice with multisensory exercises, and are done at home. The headband only makes contact with the scalp; nothing enters the body. The app is designed to be simple enough for families to use on their own.
Parents can see how regularly sessions are completed from the activity reports.
The work behind the app grew out of research conducted with Sabancı University, and has received research and development support from TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB and European Union programmes. Those are research grants; they do not mean the product has been approved or endorsed by any of those bodies.
Auto Train Brain is a general wellness product. It is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it does not replace care from a qualified health professional. Individual experiences vary.
1. The product and how it works
Auto Train Brain is an EEG-based cognitive exercise app. A headband measures brain activity while the user does exercises on a phone or tablet, and the software adapts the exercises to the data it records. Families use the app at home, on their own.
It is a general wellness product for cognitive exercise and study practice. It is not a medical device and does not treat any condition.
We position Auto Train Brain as an exercise routine that fits into ordinary daily life — like exercising or reading regularly. It was not designed to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it should not be used for that.
In practical terms: if you have a health question, the person to ask is a physician or another qualified professional, not us. What we can help with is how the software and the headband are used.
Families use it at home with their children — some for reading practice, some to build a regular study routine.
We cannot tell you that it will help with any particular condition. Auto Train Brain is not a treatment for any medical condition, and it does not replace care from a qualified professional. If your child is under the care of a professional, use this alongside the support they already receive, not instead of it.
The EEG headband measures brain activity through contact with the scalp. No electrical current is delivered — the measurement is entirely passive. The software analyses that data and adapts the feedback accordingly. Parents can review the activity reports in the app.
No. The headband only records the electrical activity the brain produces by itself, from the scalp. Nothing is sent into the head and no electrical stimulation is delivered. The measurement is passive; the exercises themselves are on-screen activities. All feedback is given through the phone, as sound and images.
The headband sends nothing into the head; the measurement is passive and no electrical stimulation is applied. Beyond that we make no safety claim — the published studies were not designed, or sized, to establish safety.
As with any screen-based activity, some children may find a session tiring and some may find the headband uncomfortable at first. If your child feels unwell or seems distressed during a session, stop and speak to their doctor.
The software was designed for school-age children, with roughly the 5–18 range in mind. Older users do use it, but we developed the product for children. Whether it suits a particular person is best decided together with someone who knows them — a school counsellor, psychologist or physician.
The exercises themselves are not language-based and do not depend on the user speaking a particular language. Parts of the app interface and the reading activities are in a specific language; you can check which languages are available on the store page.
2. Use, routine and tracking
Families use the app in whatever way fits their routine, and some spend time reading together afterwards. These are suggestions for building a routine that fits ordinary family life — not a prescribed dose, and there is no schedule you have to keep.
There is no required daily amount. Do what fits your family’s routine. A pattern you can sustain matters more than any particular frequency. It is used at home; there is no requirement to visit a centre.
Once the device and software have been delivered, setup is done over the phone with our support team. You do not need technical knowledge; the team helps you through the setup and your first sessions.
The app produces session reports showing how regularly sessions were completed and how the recorded signal changed over time.
These are in-app usage and signal records. A change in the signal does not by itself mean an improvement, and these reports are not a measure of whether your child is progressing at school or in a support programme. For that, ask their teacher or the professional assessing them.
There is no recommended length of use, and we cannot recommend a length for any condition. Some families use it for a few months, others for much longer. If your child is under the care of a professional, that professional can tell you how this fits alongside the support they already receive.
That is entirely up to you. Auto Train Brain is a subscription; families use it for as long as they find it useful. We cannot say how long any particular person should use it, and we do not promise any particular outcome.
Nor can we say what stopping or pausing will mean for a given child. Auto Train Brain is a practice routine, not a treatment, so pausing or stopping is not a medical event. If you have questions about your child’s development, their teacher, psychologist or doctor is the right person to ask.
The 14-channel headband records from more points on the scalp, so the software has more data to work with. The 5-channel headband is simpler to set up and more economical. Both run the same exercises. We cannot tell you that one will produce a better outcome for your child.
Single-channel systems work from one recording point. Auto Train Brain records from several channels at once and uses that data to adapt the exercises over time. Comparative research in this area is limited and exploratory; we do not claim that our approach works better than any other.
3. Subscription, trial and refunds
Subscription terms, renewal, cancellation and refund conditions are set out in the Subscription Agreement. Yes, you can extend at the end of a term. We do not set a programme length and we do not promise outcomes; how long people use it varies a great deal from family to family.
You can try the app before subscribing. The length of the trial, what happens when it ends and how to cancel are shown at sign-up and set out in the Subscription Agreement.
A refund request has to reach us within 15 days; after that period the software and hardware price is not refunded. When the period starts, and how a refund is processed, are set out in the Subscription Agreement. The 15-day deadline does not remove your warranty rights or your rights in respect of a defective product — for a fault, see the next item.
Maintenance, repair and warranty replacement of the headband are handled by the party you bought it from. Report the fault there first; we will help route the request and help with anything on the software side.
In practice this process can take 4 to 6 months — the headband comes from abroad, and customs and the manufacturer’s warranty assessment both take time. We say this not as a commitment but so that you know what to expect.
For that period we can freeze your subscription: no fee is charged, your remaining term and sessions are extended by the length of the freeze, and your data is not deleted. Tell us when the fault is resolved or the replacement arrives, and the subscription resumes from where it stopped. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play we cannot stop the charge ourselves; in that case we credit your account with additional access time equal to the freeze.
4. Scientific basis and intellectual property
The research behind Auto Train Brain was conducted with Sabancı University and published in peer-reviewed journals, with additional work in collaboration with Ankara University. To date five peer-reviewed journal articles have been published, along with a number of conference papers and book contributions; all of them are listed on our Books and Articles page.
These studies are small and exploratory: they looked at changes in EEG signal measures in a limited number of children, and they were not designed to establish that the product improves reading, attention or any other everyday outcome. We list the papers so that you can read them and judge for yourself.
We do not claim that Auto Train Brain will produce any particular outcome for any individual.
We do not publish patent claims on this page. If the intellectual property status of the method matters to you, contact us and we will share the application details we can document.
Auto Train Brain is used by families in Türkiye, Azerbaijan and several European countries. We do not publish a user count we cannot verify.
5. Safety, medication and professional support
Auto Train Brain is a wellness tool. It is not a medicine and it does not replace any medication or treatment. It is not intended to interact with medication.
Every decision about medication belongs to the prescribing physician. Do not start, stop, or change the dose or timing of any medication because of anything you read here. If your child takes medication regularly, or is under the care of a professional, speak to their doctor before starting — their doctor knows your child’s situation, and we do not.
Our team helps with setup, fitting the headband correctly, connection problems, how the app is used, and how to build a pattern of use that fits your family’s day.
This is product support. It is not therapy, treatment, counselling or clinical assessment, and it does not replace the professionals responsible for your child’s care. Questions about your child’s development, diagnosis or treatment should go to the professional who sees them, not to us.
We cannot tell you, and we would be wary of anyone who claims they can. There is no expected timeline and we do not promise an outcome. What we can say is that families who establish a regular routine find it easier to keep going. If you want to know how your child is actually progressing, the people assessing them — their school, psychologist or clinician — can measure that properly.
No. Auto Train Brain is a general wellness product. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it carries no approval or clearance from any regulatory authority.
6. Before you buy
Yes — we offer a free call, where you can ask your questions and we can explain plainly what the app does and does not do.
That call is an information and sales conversation. It is not a clinical assessment: we do not evaluate, screen or diagnose your child, we do not judge whether the product is right for them, and nothing said on the call is medical advice.
Everything we can show you is public. The peer-reviewed papers are listed on the Books and Articles page. Pricing, trial terms, renewal, cancellation and refunds are set out in the Subscription Agreement. How we handle data, including EEG data, is set out in the Privacy Policy. We will also walk you through the setup and what a session actually looks like, step by step.
We hold no regulatory approval or clearance for Auto Train Brain.
You can book a free preliminary call through our contact page.

- Reset your password using the link in the email.
If you are sure your details are correct, this may be a system problem. Technical support needed: fill in the support form, give your ATB username, describe the problem clearly, and attach a screenshot of the error if you can.
During setup, a specific number of sessions is assigned to your account. When those are used up, the payment screen may appear. If your purchased term is still running, do not worry and open a support request without paying again. Technical support needed.
The time your headband spends in service is added to your subscription.
- Log out of your ATB account and log back in.
- If that does not help, close the app completely from the recent apps screen and reopen it.
- If the problem persists, delete the app, reinstall the current version and log in again.
- Make sure Bluetooth is switched on.
- Make sure your internet connection is on and stable.
- Make sure location services are switched on.
- Switch off Bluetooth on other phones, tablets and computers nearby.
- Make sure your EEG headband is not charging.
- Switch off the headband, log out of your ATB account, and close the app completely from the background.
- Reopen the app and log in, switch the headband on, and try “Query Headband” again.
- If it still does not connect, try through the ATB Pro app.
If none of this works, technical support is needed.
You do not need to install a separate app to get started; the connection is made directly through Auto Train Brain.
- Make sure Bluetooth is switched on.
- Switch the headband on.
- Start Auto Train Brain, press “Query Device” to see the connected device, and continue with “Next”.
Make sure the pads are sufficiently wet.
Make sure the headband is fully charged.
- Log out of your ATB account.
- Close the app completely from the background.
- Reopen the app, log in, and connect the headband again.
- If the problem persists, delete the app, reinstall the current version and reconnect.
When you start a protocol, the timer should run 15:00 → 14:59 → 14:58. If it never appears, does not start, or stays frozen, this may be a system problem. Technical support needed.
This is usually a connection problem.
- Make sure the headband pads are in good contact with the scalp.
- Close ATB completely from memory, restart it, and confirm the connection is clean.
- If that does not help, try a different protocol.
During the YouTube protocol, screen brightness and volume should change. If both stay fixed while the protocol is running, this may be a system problem. Technical support needed.
Problems can occur on Huawei phones, and on Galaxy Tab and Huawei tablets.
Screen freezing can occur on devices that are low on charge or short of memory. Closing other apps, charging the device, or shortening the session usually resolves it.
If 8 or more of the headband’s 14 channels are working, the software runs normally.
In Spotify mode you can play music, an audiobook or a YouTube video in the background.
Some YouTube videos are copyrighted and may not be usable inside Auto Train Brain.
The more clearly you describe the problem, the easier it is to investigate. Please include all of the following:
- Your ATB username.
- Which screen the problem occurred on, and after which action.
- The error or unexpected behaviour you saw on screen.
- A screenshot or relevant image, if possible.
- The app, device, operating system and version you are using.
Example description: “When I press the Query Headband button, it stays on the connection screen even though the headband is switched on.” A description like this helps us understand at which stage the problem occurs.
