Brain training helps boy cope with ADHD

Children receive EEG biofeedback treatment for ADHD at the rehabilitation department of the Children's Hospital of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. During a visit to the rehabilitation department of the Children's Hospital of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine earlier this month, a third grader identified as Pengpeng sat in front of a screen and participated in a race car "video game" — without using his hands. It's one of the novel treatment approaches offered at the rehabilitation department's Brain Regulation Attention Training Camp, an initiative by the medical school to translate successful research into clinical practice. In addition, he received brain regulation treatment using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which involves sending repeated low-intensity magnetic pulses to specific brain areas to regulate neural activity, and EEG biofeedback.
