Can electroencephalography (EEG) identify ADHD subtypes? A systematic review - ScienceDirect

• Electrophysiology provides meaningful insight into the heterogeneity of ADHD. • Attentional, inhibitory control, and resting tasks are compared in ADHD subtypes. • Power spectrum and event-related potential analyses are related to ADHD symptoms. • EEG shows promise for the discovery of novel subgroups of ADHD. Electrophysiology provides meaningful insight into the heterogeneity of ADHD. Attentional, inhibitory control, and resting tasks are compared in ADHD subtypes. Power spectrum and event-related potential analyses are related to ADHD symptoms. EEG shows promise for the discovery of novel subgroups of ADHD. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been associated with atypical patterns of neural activity measured by electroencephalography (EEG). However, the identification of EEG diagnostic biomarkers has been complicated by the disorder’s heterogeneity. The objective of this review was to synthesize the literature investigating EEG variation in patients diagnose
