A Novel fNIRS Neurofeedback Intervention for Enhancement of Working Memory in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT04002167
Purpose
The proposed study is to test and validate a novel intervention that integrates computerized
cognitive training with real-time neuromonitoring and neurofeedback to enhance working memory
by probing the individualized neural systems underlying working memory. We will test the
proposed intervention on children with ADHD with working memory deficits. The R61
proof-of-concept phase will assess the target engagement, effective dose and feasibility.
