Neurofeedback for ADHD: Training Attention Through Brain-Wave Regulation
Quick fact
In a typical neurofeedback session, individuals with ADHD see their brainwave activity in real time, and they earn rewards—like points or a video game progressing—whenever their brain produces more 'focus' waves (beta) and fewer 'daydream' waves (theta). Over time, the brain learns to sustain this pattern on its own.
Why this is interesting
Imagine if you could train your brain to focus better just by watching your own brainwaves on a screen—no pills required. That's the promise of neurofeedback for ADHD, but can it really work?
