Summary

This study tests whether playing a virtual reality game called Electrical Maze can improve sustained attention in neurodivergent children aged 9 to 18, including those with autism, ADHD, or learning differences. Over 6 weeks, 40 participants will play the VR game twice a week for 25 minutes each session. Researchers will measure changes in attention using eye-tracking and a standard attention test.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Virtual reality game (Electrical Maze)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a fun, non-drug way to help neurodivergent children improve their focus and attention skills.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants and no control group, so results may not apply widely. The VR game may not lead to lasting improvements.
