UNLABELLED Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms can be difficult to treat. We previously reported that a 20-session brain-computer interface (BCI) attention training programme improved ADHD symptoms. Here, we investigated a new more intensive BCI-based attention training game system on 20 unmedicated ADHD children (16 males, 4 females) with significant inattentive symptoms (...

For many goods and services, such as cellular-phone service and debit-card transactions, the price of the next unit of service depends on past usage. As a result, consumers who are inattentive to their past usage but are aware of contract terms may remain uncertain about the price of the next unit. I develop a model of inattentive consumption, derive equilibrium pricing when consumers are inatt...

Most new cases of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are of the predominantly inattentive subtype. Research on the use of psychostimulants in these patients has shown a high rate of nonresponders. Although psychostimulants showed a short-term decrease in symptoms in students diagnosed with predominantly inattentive ADHD, they did not significantly improve grade-point averages.

BACKGROUND Despite a large scientific literature on early clinical precursors of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and unipolar depression, few data are available on axis I disorders preceding the adult onset of these illnesses. SAMPLING AND METHODS Disorders before the age of 18 years were retrospectively assessed with a structured interview in 3 groups of consecutive adult inpatients with DSM...

Ancient Egyptian monuments have been objects of awe and study since their erection in ancient times. Throughout the ages many have sought to discover and teach the hidden truths embedded in these grand temples and tombs. The sacred landscape that the Egyptians created remains intriguing in our modern age. Now, more than ever, we have the responsibility to teach in a manner which holds true to b...
