Brain-computer Interface Treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inability to concentrate for a long time, hyperactivity and emotional impulsivity. It usually develops in childhood. The pathogenesis is unclear. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) refers to a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device, enabling information exchange between the two. This paper will explore the possibility of treating ADHD through brain-computer interface methods through the examples of existing inter-brain interfaces for the treatment of neurological diseases in ADHD, such as neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and digital therapy. All three of these modalities are treatments or diagnostic methods based on brain-computer interface technology. Then this paper analyzes the possible problems of these treatments through some data and ethical issues. The paper also proposes relevant solutions. Through the research in this paper, it can provide a new research direction for the treatment of ADHD in the future. Create a broader prospect for the treatment of ADHD.
