Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Traditional treatments, such as medication and behavioral therapy, have shown varying degrees of success, but the potential benefits of alternative therapies like meditation are gaining attention. This study explores the impact of meditation on ADHD treatment through the analysis of EEG (electroencephalogram) signals. By examining changes in brainwave patterns during and after meditation sessions, we aim to understand how meditation may influence cognitive functions commonly affected by ADHD. Preliminary findings suggest that meditation may enhance attention, reduce hyperactivity, and increase mental focus, as evidenced by altered EEG activity, particularly in the theta and alpha frequency bands. These results imply that meditation could serve as a complementary tool in managing ADHD symptoms, offering a non-pharmacological option for treatment. Further research is necessary to validate these findings and optimize meditation-based interventions.
