Fusion of Multi-Task Neurophysiological Data to Enhance the Detection of Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence ranging from 6.1 to 9.4%. The main symptoms of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and even destructive behaviors that may have a long-term negative influence on learning performance or social relationships. Early diagnosis and treatment provide the best chance of reducing and managing symptoms. Currently, ADHD diagnosis relies on behavioral observations and ratings by clinicians and parents. Medical diagnosis of ADHD was reported to be delayed because of a global shortage of well-trained clinicians, the heterogeneous nature of ADHD, and combined comorbidities. Therefore, alternative ways to increase the efficiency of early diagnosis are needed.
