A new paper has been published by Alessio Bellato and colleagues from the Institute of Mental Health in the special issue 'New Advances in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)' of the journal 'Brain Sciences'.

The authors investigated brain activity in children with ADHD and Autism, during a resting-state session which included an eyes-closed and an eyes-open condition. The results of the study indicate that both children with ADHD and Autism might experience difficulties in filtering sensory information at rest, however children with ADHD might show this difficulty especially during eyes-closed resting-state.

The authors have proposed to create a shared database of resting-state EEG data collected in individuals with different psychological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD and autism (see https://osf.io/azkhs/ if interested).
