Abstract: Experimental study on neurobiofeedback: improved ADHD concentration through nirHEG and blood fluidity. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is related to low cortical activation, particularly in the prefrontal area. In this sense, an effective intervention should imply an increase in the levels of this type of activation. Though in the last few years the first-choice treatment has been the pharmacological support,\nrecent researches have affirmed that neurofeedback training (NF) has also generated great benefits in children with ADHD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the benefits of NF using the hemoencephalography nir-HEG whose aim is the assessment and intervention of blood oxygenation levels in certain areas. This study worked with 25 students with ADHD. All patients received a pretest and posttest assessment in which cortical activation has been measured with the EEG quantified (Q-EEG), the nir-HEG and the executive control (TOVA test). After the intervention (12 sessions) in the middle left prefrontal area (Fp1) using the nir-HEG, the results showed a favorable trend\nin measures of cortical activation and executive control, with statistically significant differences in the central cortical activation (Cz) and all measures covered by the TOVA. In this way, this research concluded that training with nir-HEG provides great benefits, that it should be studied in future researches.
