Read MoreEnhancing selective attention through neurofeedback
Neuroimaging studies have shown that children with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have different structural and functional brain structures when compared to children without ADHD. Functional brain studies carried out in children with ADHD have implicated abnormal functioning of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), specifically in tasks assessing selective attention. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)…

Neurofeedback (NF) training is a non-pharmacological treatment that follows the principle of positive reinforcement, allowing for individuals to overtly monitor brain activity. Research has provided evidence for improved sustained attention when individuals monitor and increase their Beta 1 waves. Recent studies have also examined the effect of NF on white matter pathways and grey matter…
