Multi-way modeling of electroencephalographic data to evaluate the treatment effect of (Concerta (R)) on adult patients with ADHD

ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders. In the past it was believed that the symptoms subside after adolescence. However, 65% of the children diagnosed with ADHD will in fact grow up to be adults diagnosed with ADHD. While medical treatment may improve many of the main symptoms like distractibility, hyperactivity and impulsiveness, up to 30% of the patients do not respond. Thus research is still required to explore the effect of medical treatment, and the reasons for the response variability, with an emphasis on adults above high school age.
