HAs anyone else looked into www.lexicor.com (http://www.lexicor.com)? They have a method of using an EEG as a portion of the ADHD diagnosis. The portion of the site I looked at appeared to be proffessional and scientific. I'd really be thrilled if their studies are as accurate as they proffess. Finnally, something concrete, was my first thought:D . So, anyone else, comments, critisims, information? Tha following is an excerpt from their wecsite.


In the NeuroLex<SUP>SM</SUP> procedure, the electrical activity of your brainwave activity is measured via a collection method called an electroencephalography or EEG. Results from numerous research studies have identified a distinct pattern of EEG (brainwave) activity that is found in most individuals with ADHD. Specifically, it has been shown that over 90% of individuals with ADHD have a distinct pattern of excess slow-wave brain activity relative to fast wave activity. In individuals without ADHD, this pattern is rarely seen.

The NeuroLex<SUP>SM</SUP> Indicator Report for ADHD shows how a patient’s brain activity compares to the brain wave activity of same-aged people without ADHD. Based on the result of this analysis, a patient’s brain functioning may appear to be more similar to people with ADHD. The result suggests the likelihood of an ADHD determination; however, the finding is not sufficient in itself to make this assessment.

I did contact them and ask about adult use...unfortuantely it has only been normed for those under 30....so far...:rolleyes:
Hope someone else has some thing to add.

In his recent book Delivered from Distraction, Dr. Hallowell discusses the qeeg (qualitative eeg - I believe) and his web site states the Hallowell Centers are now using them as part of their diagnositic processes. Do you think maybe this is the same thing? Hallowell said the accuracy is very highly coorelated to those garnered from taking the history (although it still doesn't replace the history).
