Journal Article 2020 01 07 <strong>Aim:</strong>Regarding the problems of people with ADHD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its importance in the quality of social relationships, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of neurofeedback therapy on improvement of eye emotion recognition.<strong> Method:</strong> For this purpose, 24 adults including 12 males and 12 females between the ages of 19 to 25 years were selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The subjects were evaluated by an adult ADHD test and interview, and provided that no other symptoms of mental disorders were measured by the SCL-90 test. All subjects were recorded electroencephalographically and all responded to eye emotion recognition test. The experimental group also participated in 15 sessions of neurofeedback treatment and then both groups were re-evaluated. <strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that the experimental group performed better than the control group after the neurofeedback sessions and the difference between them was significant. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that individuals' performance in emotion recognition is not limited to classical mirror neurons and emotional processing takes place in areas beyond what is known as mirror neurons.<br /> <br /> <br /><br /><br /> <strong>Aim:</strong>Regarding the problems of people with ADHD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and its importance in the quality of social relationships, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of neurofeedback therapy on improvement of eye emotion recognition.<strong> Method:</strong> For this purpose, 24 adults including 12 males and 12 females between the ages of 19 to 25 years were selected and divided into experimental and control groups.
