Neurotechnology in ADHD Diagnosis: A Research on Innovations and Applications

Abstract. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by persistent symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention, presenting significant challenges in daily functioning. Diagnosing ADHD, particularly in adulthood, can be intricate due to symptom overlap with other disorders and the subjective nature of behavioral assessments. However, advancements in neuroimaging techniques have illuminated the neurological underpinnings of ADHD, offering a more objective approach to understanding and diagnosing this neurodevelopmental condition. Neuroimaging technologies such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) have been pivotal in mapping the brain's functional and structural anomalies associated with ADHD.This review synthesizes the application of neuroimaging in the diagnosis of ADHD, encompassing EEG, fMRI, and NIRS. It discusses the potential and limitations of these technologies in assessing brain function and structure alterations in individuals with ADHD and explores their prospects for clinical application. As we conclude and look ahead, the continuous progress in technology and research is set to make neuroimaging an increasingly vital component in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. It promises to deliver more personalized and precise therapeutic approaches for individuals affected by this disorder.
