Correction: Eroğlu, G. Electroencephalography-Based Neuroinflammation Diagnosis and Its Role in Learning Disabilities. Diagnostics 2025, 15, 764

Submission received: 25 June 2025 / Accepted: 30 June 2025 / Published: 14 July 2025
In the original publication [1], Figures 1, 2 and 4–7, as well as Tables 1 and 2, were based on earlier internal drafts and have since been revised for improved clarity and accuracy. While the overall methodology and conclusions of the study remain scientifically sound and unchanged, these updated figures and tables provide enhanced transparency and reproducibility of the presented data.
The corrected Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Table 1, Table 2 are shown below.
Additionally, the Python code used for EEG preprocessing, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model training, and performance evaluation was not included in the original publication. These scripts document key processes such as z-score normalization, data balancing, ANN architecture optimization, and performance metric calculation. To improve transparency and enable reproducibility, the code has now been made available as Supplementary File S1: Python codes MDPI.ipynb, and a citation for this file has been inserted in the Section 3 Results, paragraph 3, and should read as follows:
“Moreover, the study explored the impact of preprocessing techniques, such as minimum–maximum scaling, on model performance. While this technique introduced a slight reduction in accuracy, from 98.5% to 98.33%, the model retained robust performance metrics, including an F1 score of 0.983 and an increased loss of 0.08 (as detailed in Table 1 and Table 2). These findings indicate that while preprocessing can slightly alter accuracy, the overall diagnostic capability of the ANN remains consistently high (Supplementary File S1).”
With this correction, the “Supplementary Materials” part has been added accordingly.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 1. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. The ROC curve illustrates the performance of a multilayer perceptron model trained on EEG-derived features to classify children with learning disabilities. The model achieved an AUC of approximately 1, indicating high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing between the LD and control groups. The gray dashed line in the ROC curve plot represents the “no-skill classifier” or random guess baseline.
