  • Acute stage of respiratory, digestive, circulatory, urinary, immune, endocrine system diseases or acute episodes of chronic diseases (such as common acute symptoms like fever, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, etc.) and those judged by the investigator to potentially affect the research results;
  • Hearing impairment with corrected hearing not within the normal range, visual impairment with corrected vision not within the normal range, visual impairments such as color blindness, and other visual or hearing problems affecting software users;
  • Those previously diagnosed with ADHD or suspected ADHD;
  • Those who have received, are receiving, or plan to receive any psychological treatment for ADHD or non-drug treatment for the nervous system, or other cognitive, psychological-related behavioral intervention treatments in the past 6 months;

  • Those who have had gaming addiction in the past;
  • Motor conditions (e.g., hand dysfunction) reported by family members or observed by the investigator that would interfere with the trial procedures.
  • Those who have had suicidal thoughts or the investigator judges that they have suicidal impulses, non-suicidal self-harm impulses;
  • Those who are participating in other clinical trials or have not completed other trials within 1 month;
  • Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for participation in this study.
