Hey UMD Class of 2021,
The Deep Brain Neurotech (DBN) FIRE Stream is a collaborative program between UMD and FDA. We are currently conducting a research study on ADHD with two aims:

1) identifying EEG diagnostic markers of the disorder to complement or replace the subjective decisions made by clinicians, and
2) testing the effect of replacing the usual drug treatments with a non-invasive and harmless auricular Vagus nerve stimulator (in the form of headphones) to enhance focus without any side effects and with the additional benefit of relieving stress and tension.

While the research is led by Dr. Nevine El-leithy, there are members in charge of conducting the actual field experiments and collecting data along with other DBN BRAINIACS team members who handle interpreting the data. We are looking for volunteers who are clinically diagnosed with ADHD. The essence of our revolutionary DBN research is minimizing human error in clinical decision-making and designing alternative therapies for brain disorders in which drugs either
cause a plethora of side effects or have no effect at all.

Each participant will also receive a Texas Instrument Chronos watch at the completion of their participation.  Also, participate for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card (four winners will be chosen)!
