Theta-Beta Ratio in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Multiverse Analysis

2026-01-09

Abstract excerpt

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 5-7% of children worldwide, yet diagnosis continues to rely on clinical-behavioral assessments. The theta/beta ratio (TBR) derived from electroencephalography (EEG) has long been proposed as a complementary neurobiological marker of ADHD, based on reports of elevated TBR in affected children. However, accumulating evidence has raised concerns about the robust...
