Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be treated using both behavioral and pharmacological approaches. This study aims to investigate the contributions of virtual reality (VR) interfaces in analyzing the attention levels of individuals with ADHD as part of a behavioral treatment strategy. The proposed approach involves utilizing VR equipment to facilitate participant activities. We can analyze the data from eye-tracking, brain activity monitoring, and the responses of survey.
