Intervention Group

Each participant will first need to master a simple concentration task before moving on to play a series of training tasks. An eye gaze tracker connected to the computer will detect the location of eye gaze on the computer screen. The game progresses according to how well the participant can focus their eye gaze on correct objects and sustain their attention. Each task employs the BCI system, and is controlled by the child's concentration. As the child attends to activities on a computer screen, their EEG waves will be recorded simultaneously via the EEG sensors through Bluetooth technology.
