Abstract Neurofeedback or electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback technology is widely used in clinical rehabilitation field. In this paper, we used a brain-computer interface (BCI) neurofeedback system for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children treatment.After 20 training sessions, integrated visual and auditory-conhnuous performance test (IVA-CPT), DSM-IV and conner scale results suggested that the attention of subjects had been strengthened, which showed that the BCI neurofeedback system could provide an effective therapy for treating ADHD children.
