"Our project investigates how the brain provides ... control by observing eye movements," physiology professor Douglas Munoz said in an article on the website PsychCentral. "Our experiments have been designed to combine high speed eye movement recording with modern brain imaging techniques to identify brain regions that control our behavior."
During the experiment, participants were shown a series of lights and asked to either look at them or look away. As their responses were recorded, their brain activity was also monitored.
Kids with ADHD not only had trouble following the instructions, but their brain activity was lower than normal. Researchers said they believe the study could be used both to diagnose ADHD and to test the effectiveness of new medicines.
