Study Summary

The proposed study is to test and validate a novel intervention that integrates computerized cognitive training with real-time neuromonitoring and neurofeedback to enhance working memory by probing the individualized neural systems underlying working memory. We will test the proposed intervention on children with ADHD with working memory deficits. The R61 proof-of-concept phase will assess the target engagement, effective dose and feasibility.

Primary Outcome

Change in activity in the target frontal-parietal network measured by functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during an N-back working memory task. A general linear model is applied to recorded signal and the beta coefficients from the model are extracted as a proxy for brain activity in fronto-pariteal network which subserves working memory function. There is no established population mean for beta coefficient of brain activity. Higher (lower) beta coefficients reflect higher (lower) acti
