Condition focus · ADHD

Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder

~9.4% of US children, ~4.4% of US adults (CDC)

Neurofeedback for ADHD has 30+ years of research. fNIRS prefrontal up-train shows small-to-moderate effect sizes; meta-analyses support inattentive-subtype response.

Protocols

Theta-suppress / SMR up-train
Channel: Cz
Frequency: 12–15 Hz reward · 4–8 Hz inhibit
Sessions: 30–40
Mendi prefrontal alpha up-train
Channel: Fp1 / Fp2
Frequency: 8–13 Hz
Sessions: 20
Theta/beta normalization
Channel: Cz · Pz
Frequency: Reward by z-score
Sessions: 20–30
