Closed-loop stimulation modulates attention shifting in children

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 13 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02294-0

Intracranial recordings in children revealed neural signals predicting attentional lapses. Closed-loop stimulation rescued performance and scalp EEG enabled noninvasive modulation, identifying a reproducible marker of attentional control.
