Description

Titli Saha, Aniruddha Basu, and ten co-authors ran a first test of brain training in at-risk children in eastern India, in work from twenty twenty-six. The children have close kin with drug or drink problems, or severe mental illness. Such children often show slow growth in the front brain area that guides focus and self-control. The training uses a cap that reads blood flow in that area and feeds it back as a game-like signal.

Eleven children, aged six to twelve, took eight sessions aimed at two spots on the right front of the brain. The study had no control group by design. Its job was to check if the method is safe, workable, and well borne by young children.
