ABSTRACT

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. With the emerging neuropsychological perspective, electroencephalography (EEG) signal analysis has been recognized as one of the important approaches for extracting knowledge of brain dynamics. In our study, it is observed from EEG analysis that ADHD children have either excessive slow- or fast-brain waves that interfere with maintaining the necessary optimal level of neural oscillation, which is associated with cognitive and behaviour impairment in ADHD children. The research postulates how the cognitive-behavioral intervention strategy stabilizes synergistic interaction among the frontoparietal circuits and among the frontostriatal loops towards normality within the neuroplastic limit of ADHD. This approach helps to explain the psychobiological underpinning of the disorder by establishing a brain–behavior relationship and to postulate a more focused intervention following an idiographic approach.
