Abstract：
The relationship between brainwave oscillations and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)-related cognitive challenges is a trending proposition in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience. Studies suggest the role of brainwave oscillations in the symptom expressions of ADHD-diagnosed children. Intervention studies have further suggested the scope of brain stimulation techniques in improving cognition. The current manuscript explored the effect of changes in the brainwaves post-sensory entrainment on cognitive performance of children. We calculated each participant\'s brainwave difference and ratios of theta, alpha, and beta power after the entrainment sessions. Further, we explored possible correlations between these values and the psychometric scores. The beta resting state showed the strongest association with selective attention performance of all participants. Theta-beta ratio (TBR) showed an inverse correlation with selective attention and working memory performances. The theta frequency was associated with decreased working performance in children without ADHD. Our findings also suggest a predominant role of TBR than the theta-alpha ratio in determining the cognitive performance of children with ADHD. The individual differences in the entrainment reception were attributed to the participant\'s age, IQ, and their innate baseline frequencies. The implications of our findings can initiate substantiating brainwave-based entrainment sessions as a therapeutic modality to improve cognition among children.
摘要：
脑电波振荡与注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）相关的认知挑战之间的关系是认知神经科学领域的趋势命题。研究表明，脑电波振荡在诊断为ADHD的儿童的症状表达中的作用。干预研究进一步表明了脑刺激技术在改善认知方面的范围。当前的手稿探讨了感觉夹带后脑电波变化对儿童认知表现的影响。我们计算了每个参与者的脑电波差异和θ比，阿尔法，以及夹带会话后的贝塔功率。Further,我们探讨了这些值与心理测量评分之间可能存在的相关性.β静息状态显示出与所有参与者的选择性注意力表现最强的关联。Theta-beta比（TBR）与选择性注意力和工作记忆表现呈负相关。Theta频率与无ADHD儿童的工作表现下降有关。我们的发现还表明，TBR在确定ADHD儿童的认知表现方面比theta-alpha比率起主要作用。夹带接收的个体差异归因于参与者的年龄，IQ,以及它们固有的基线频率。我们的发现的含义可以启动证实基于脑电波的夹带会话，作为改善儿童认知的治疗方式。
