A non-invasive brain-computer interface that produces real-time EEG feedback on neural activity while the user plays a video-game, and then assesses data with AI, is helping clinicians more accurately diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
-
In a much-needed update to 2003 data on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the US, a new report has found that 15.5 million American adults have been diagnosed with the condition – and many have been let down by poor access to treatment.

A groundbreaking study has mapped dopamine, deep inside the brain, in real time. Surprising researchers, the "pleasure neurotransmitter" is more complex than earlier thought, shaping our brain to make better decisions based on prior experience.
