Slow Maternal Response Time Linked to ADHD in Kids

Slower maternal vocal response times to 12-month-old infants predict an increased risk of ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders by age 7. For every 10% increase in the probability of a maternal response within one second, the child's odds of receiving a psychiatric diagnosis dropped by 17%, highlighting real-time communication tracking as a powerful, non-invasive indicator for early intervention screening.

Brain Signal Predicts and Restores Attention in Children

Researchers discovered a neural signature that predicts when a child is about to lose focus. By delivering a targeted pulse at the exact millisecond this signal appears, scientists were able to restore attentional flexibility in children with ADHD and epilepsy. This world-first study paves the way for non-invasive, personalized technologies that support learning and engagement in real-time.
