Feasibility of detecting ADHD patients' attention levels by classifying their EEG signals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), characterized by the lack of attention and focus, is one of the most spread cognitive disorders. Since electroencephalogram (EEG) signals carry extensive information about cognition skills, which include attention, then the potential of using EEG signals for people with low attention span can be quite significant. EEG can be read using the new wireless EEG reading devices often used by Brain-computer Interface (BCI) researchers. In parallel, serious games have been recently utilized for rehabilitating various cognitive and emotional deficits. In this paper, we put the two things together, and we investigate the integration of an EEG-controlled serious game that trains and strengthens patients' attention ability while using machine learning to detect their attention level. Our preliminary experiments with healthy individuals show an accuracy of up to 96% in classifying the EEG data to detect the correct attention state during gameplay. This promising result serves as motivation to test our models with actual ADHD patients in the future.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
