Abstract

A five channel electroencephalographic (EEG) system to observe evoked potentials and power spectral shifts, which may be indicative of Attention Deficit/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), is described. The system is intended for use by schools as a screening tool similar to the vision and hearing tests now routinely administered. In addition, the system can be used in a specific protocol for the non-pharmacological intervention in ADD/ADHD
