In one research group kids received standard EEG Neurofeedback for the treatment of ADHD. In the other research group, kids  played brain wave enabled video games.

Both the video game and standard EEG Neurofeedback groups improved significantly on most main ADHD outcome measures. No significant difference in treatment change was seen in group comparisons.

Parents’ appraisal of treatment effect on ADHD was more positive for the video game group. The treatment was rated significantly more enjoyable by both parents and children.

Trends on pre-post Brain Maps indicate that the video game training may have advantages in creating more positive EEG effect in the therapeutic direction.
