Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of neurofeedback and drug therapy in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children with ADHD and to compare the effectiveness of these two treatments. Methods: According to The purpose of the research, 45 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were selected through available sampling method and were divided into three groups (Experimental and control). Drug therapy and neurofeedback treatment was conducted during weekly meetings in Isfahan. In this study, parents' Converz questionnaire was used for data collection in two stages: pre-test and post-test. Findings: The results of the analysis revealed that the efficacy of drug therapy and neurofeedback treatment on attention deficit problems and impulsivity problems of children was significant. Also, the results of the analysis showed that drug therapy was more effective than neurofeedback in reducing stunting problems, while neurofeedback treatment has been more effective than medication in treatment of attention deficit problems. Conclusion: According to the results on this research, neurofeedback is a suitable treatment method for reduction symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity in children.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the speed of learning and the transfer of information between the brain hemispheres among normal people and people with substance abuse. Methods: The study population consisted of boys with substance abuse who referred to the related centers in 1395 for giving up taking drugs and normal boys. The sample was selected through cluster sampling. The participants were 115 normal and 115 boys diagnosed as addicted to drug abuse. The methodology of the study is causal-comparative. In order to collect data, the draw in the mirror was used as the instruments. The results were analyzed through running ANOVA using SPSS 20 software. Findings: The results showed that the speed of learning and the transfer of information between the brain hemispheres of ordinary people and people with substance abuse were statistically significant. Conclusion: As the results indicated, it can be concluded that people with substance abuse quickly learn and exchange information between the two hemispheres weaker than normal people do.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of neurofeedback treatment on assertiveness and anxiety of panic attack sufferers. Methods: This study due to its goals and assumptions is quasi-experimental. A pretest-posttest control/experimental group design was used. 20 people who refered to counseling and treatment centers and psychiatric clinics were selected in Tehran in 1395 through random sampling from patients who were diagnosed by physiatrists as having panic. Participants were divided into two groups of 10 patients. The experimental group received 20 sessions of neurofeedback treatment (45 minutes). The control group received no intervention. The two groups received Beck Anxiety Inventory questionnaire to determine the level of anxiety and Gambrill and Ridgecrest to evaluate their self-expression in both pretest and posttest. To analyze the data variance analysis and multivariate analysis of variance were used. Findigs: The results show that neurofeedback treatment, have significant effects on reducing anxiety and increasing assertiveness in patients with panic attack disorder (PConclusion: neurofeedback treatment is effective in reducing anxiety and increasing assertiveness of patients with panic disorder.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of games on the speed of learning and the transfer of information between the two hemispheres of brain. Method: The design of the study was quasi-experimental and the sampling estimation was based on Cohen's table. There were 15 patients in each group (experimental group and control) who voluntarily took part in the research and they were tested by pre-test and post-test. In order to measure the speed of data transfer between the hemispheres of the brain and the speed of learning among users, the device of drawing in the mirror was used. To analyze the data ANCOVA was performed by software SPSS 20. Findings: Results showed a significant relationship between playing games and the learning speed and transfer of information between the two hemispheres of the brain. Conclusion: Games influence the speed of learning and transfer of information between the two hemispheres of the brain.
