There is also the Thought Stream- a system with a sensitive GSR that I used with ADHD screening and biofeedback.

New studies show EDA activity in ADHD is valid marker

It has been since 1991 that I have found that the GSR galvanic skin response and EDA electro dermal activity were valid and important modalities in helping ADHD. It has been lonely having this view because it was overshadowed by EEG neurofeedback. However, recently more and more articles and research is coming out showing that the EDA has allot to teach us about ADHD. It actually might be a major key in our understanding of ADHD. So I feel vindicated now and am happy to point out these studies in this Blog.

A few studies have been coming out supporting the role of electro dermal activity as a measure and screening in ADHD. In the following study EDA and EEG was used to suggest that different psychophysiological processes may underlie ADHD in each sex.
