Feasibility of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in the Treatment of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Using Combined Neuroimaging Techniques and Clinical Measures to Assess Feasibility of tDCS as an Intervention in Adult ADD.

This study aims at combining imaging techniques and clinical evaluations to assess clinical change as well as brain changes that occur as a result of brain stimulation in adult attention deficit disorder.

This study will use clinical measures and cognitive tasks covering 3 different functional domains during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) and Ultrasound tagged near infrared spectroscopy (UT-NIRS), to assess functional brain changes as a result of a treatment protocol with Transcaranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in adults suffering from attention deficit disorder (ADD).

4. Gave informed consent for participation in the study
5. If referred by the treating psychiatrist, he or she approves of the subjects participation in the study
