We dive into the role of dopamine, the prefrontal cortex, the benefits and limitations of medication, and examine the impact of the education system on ADHD. Additional topics include consciousness, willpower, and the distinctions between biofeedback and neurofeedback, along with technologies like smartwatches, video games, and VR.
