NASA Technology Helps People With ADHD

It's called the Play Attention Learning System, and is based on technology used by NASA astronauts and U.S. Air Force pilots to stay attentive in the cockpit. The system's main piece is a bicycle-like helmet lined with sensors that monitor brain-wave activity and attaches to your computer. The user completes various mental tasks that are meant to teach concentration and focus.

"Often, within a short time, behavior can be modified to reduce or eliminate calling out, fidgeting, impulsivity, and so on, while improving time-on-task, focus, comprehension and more."

The software responds in real-time, and adjusts activities based on the participant's attention level.
