Abstract

BACKGROUND: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is highly prevalent among children and adolescents. Traditional diagnostic methods are subjective and time-consuming, underscoring the need for more objective diagnostic tools. Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a promising biomarker for detecting ADHD. This study proposes MCRNet, a Multi-head Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Network, for aiding in ADHD detection using EEG and Deep Learning (DL) techniques.
