EEG-Defined Subtypes of ADHD in Adults.

• The study will investigate EEG and ERP clusters within a sample of adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

• The identification of distinct EEG-defined subgroups of adults with ADHD would have considerable implications for the use of EEG in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD.

• The EEG will be recorded in a resting condition, as well as while performing continuous performance tasks.

• Clinical subjects will be grouped by means of cluster analysis.
