Summary

This study looked at 174 school-age children with ADHD to see if a brain-computer interface (BCI) training program, either alone or with medication (methylphenidate or citicoline), improves attention and self-control. Children played computer games that used their brain signals to guide training, and took attention tests before and after. The goal was to help families and doctors understand which treatment combinations work best in real-world settings.
