Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback for ADHD
We are currently seeking participants with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for a study investigating whether people can improve their attention by viewing their brain signals in real time.
Why are we studying this?
Both the brain and behavior have the potential to be changed in temporary or permanent ways. We want to find
out whether brain and/or behavior changes can be produced by neurofeedback, in which an individual’s own
brain signals are displayed back to them. Neurofeedback may help healthy individuals or individuals with a
disorder like ADHD improve behaviors such as attention.
