Further tests:

Is that alpha wave response distribution relatively continuous or is that a big hump at the Non-ADHD point with a smaller one at the ADHD point. (checking to see if ADHD is truly a separate condition or is just the far end of a normal distribution)

Do the behavioral studies accurately match with this neurological testing? Or are their students who show up as ADHD on the behavioral tests but not here? (checking for multiple forms of ADHD and over diagnosis by doctors)

Do drugs like Ritalin affect this neurological test?

Ooo, look, a spider climbing up my wall.

Does the neurological response change over time? Is ADHD permanent, or does it change with time of day or age of the patient?

Back when I was a child, we called it BOREDOM.

Teachers constantly wanted to know why I had my eyes out the window, apparently not paying any attention to them.

A few years ago a small wolf spider began coming out on my computer desk and looking at me. After a few times it became so used to me that I could wave a finger over it. It chose a lamp head not two feet away from me as its place to die. That took a few days. Not that that has anything to do with ADHD but it sure was weird.
