Summary

This study tested whether listening to white noise or seeing visual pixel noise can improve attention in children with ADHD. Sixty children, some with ADHD and some without, completed eye-tracking tasks while exposed to these noises. The goal was to see if the noise could help the ADHD group perform as well as the control group.
