Summary

This study looks at brain activity in teens aged 12 to 17 with ADHD, OCD, or no condition. Researchers use EEG, MRI, and MEG scans to measure brain signals while participants rest or do computer tasks. The goal is to understand how the brain controls attention and impulses, not to test a treatment. About 110 participants will be involved over up to 10 visits in a year.
