Abstract

Wearable electroencephalogram (EEG)-based neurofeedback has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological approach for improving attention and managing core symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). By providing immediate visual or auditory cues tied to neural activity, individuals can learn to self-regulate specific brain rhythms associated with focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Recent technological advances in electrode design and artifact mitigation now allow for practical, user-friendly solutions in everyday settings, including home and school environments. Furthermore, integrating real-time motion tracking with EEG recording enhances data reliability, particularly for children who tend to be restless during training. Personalized protocols that tailor the intervention to individual EEG profiles have shown potential in increasing the proportion of successful learners. In addition, combining EEG neurofeedback with other modalities and complementary behavioral strategies may further strengthen therapeutic outcomes. This review explores the current state, challenges, and prospects of wearable EEG neurofeedback for ADHD.
