Description
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this phase I project, Koronis Biomedical Technologies (KBT) proposes to develop an electroencephalography (EEG) based neurofeedback video game to enable individuals to improve neurocognitive processes associated withAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback in which real-time measures of brainwave activity are presented to the individual in a manner that enables them to willfully control aspects of their brainwave activity with the goal o actively selecting desirable states or reducing time in undesirable states. A major goal of this project is to demonstrate, through scientific basis, under what training conditions do users get better at generalized cognitive training. This is an important and timely research objective given a number of high profile failures to find gains in general cognitive abilities, transference, as function of training. The phase I research program will design and construct an EEG Neurofeedbac
