Are the Focus CDs effective in treateing adults or children with ADD or ADHD?
The Focus 2-Disc Set may be used by adults or children with ADD or ADHD to improve levels of concentration and clarity, offering a drug-free alternative to enhance attention and ognitive functioning. In the past two decades, several research studies have proven the effectiveness of binaural audio in increasing attention, improving concentration and focusing skills, and treating ADD. In 1991, at the annual meeting of the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, Harold Russell, PH.D., presented research showing that Beta frequencies improved the cognitive functioning fo children with ADD. In addition, the results of a 1997 study conducted by the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center indicated binaural audio is effective in increasing cognitive performance. The study reported that “binaural auditory stimulation” can affect both the task performance and changes in mood associated with the task.” (Lane, Kasian, Owens, Marsh; 1998
