Deep dives
ADHD and Attention
ADHD individuals have difficulty directing their attention and often respond solely to external stimuli. They struggle with self-directed attention and maintaining focus in less stimulating environments. However, ADHD brains excel in pattern-matching, novelty seeking, and creative thinking. The ability to enter a flow state is impacted by ADHD, both in terms of the highly focused, effortless state as well as the non-linear access state. ADHD individuals have a disposition towards difficulty channeling attention but display high attention once engaged. Neurofeedback training can help individuals with ADHD improve their attention and manage distractibility while maintaining their creativity and nonlinear thinking abilities.
