Abnormal alpha modulation in response to human eye gaze predicts inattention severity in children with ADHD

Abstract

Highlights • In response to the human eye gaze, compared with TD children, ADHD children showed a decreased alpha lateralization.• The attenuation of alpha modulation in ADHD children was mainly manifested in the left hemisphere.• The left hemisphere alpha modulation predicted higher inattentive severity and lower behavioural accuracy in ADHD children.• Classification analysis showed the left alpha modulation has a high capability to recognize ADHD from TD children.
