Self-Regulation of Attention in Children in a Virtual Classroom Environment: A Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT: Attention is a crucial cognitive function that enables us to selectively focus on relevant information from the surrounding world to achieve our goals. Impairments in sustained attention pose challenges, particularly in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impulsive and inattentive behavior. While psychostimulant medications are the most effective ADHD treatment, they often yield unwanted side effects, making it crucial to explore non-pharmacological treatments. We propose a groundbreaking protocol that combines electroencephalography-based neurofeedback with virtual reality (VR) as an innovative approach to address attention deficits. By integrating a virtual classroom environment, we aim to enhance the transferability of a
