- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The effectivity of neurofeedback is investigated with different study<br /><br>parameters. We expect that the brain after neurofeedback will be better<br /><br>capable to proces information than before the neurofeedback; this will be<br /><br>indicated using Event Related Potentials which are determined during the QEEG.<br /><br>Also we expect that the sustained and selective attention and concentration<br /><br>will increase and the executive functions improve. To indicates these changes<br /><br>(neuro)psychological tests will be assessed. Whenever the fundamental problems<br /><br>of AD(H)D-problems are effectively treated we expect that the related behavior<br /><br>problems decrease. Therefore behavioral changes will be investigated using<br /><br>behavioral questionnaires and an interview.</p><br>
