    Interesting video about diagnosing learning disorders (including ADD/ADHD) and how at present, most diagnosis is done without directly observing the brain. Please see video description below.

    Developmental disorders in children are typically diagnosed by observing behavior, but Aditi Shankardass knew that we should be looking directly at their brains. She explains how a remarkable EEG device has revealed mistaken diagnoses and transformed children’s lives.

    Sorry for forgetting the link. These things happen (a lot). :)

    As for availability, BAM123, my understanding is this is currently under research and not (yet) widely available.

    Whether or not it would work with adults is a good question. Perhaps Dr. J. might comment on this and other current research into the way our brains work and how we can better work with them.
