AKL-T01
AKL-T01: AKL-T01 digital treatment is a state-of-the-art mobile video game-like platform, which deploys modern videogame graphics, engaging reward loops, and real-time adaptive mechanics to dynamically personalize difficulty based on the user's ability. AKL-T01 multitasking treatment employs perceptual discrimination attention/memory task as well as a continuous motor "driving" task. Performance on these tasks are assessed in isolation and when performed together to calculate a performance index for each individual user. A personalized multitask treatment regimen is automatically configured and delivered to the user and is optimized adaptively to increase multitask performance. As players proceed through the treatment periodic recalibration occurs to maintain an optimal difficulty level.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0 to Day 28

Population: Exclusions: data with excessive noise at the pre- or post-intervention assessment. Excessive noise was defined as rejection of more than 30% of target trials due to voltage fluctuations greater than ± 100 μV deflections within an epoch.

Neurotypical Historical Control
EEG data from neurotypical participants from a prior study, "A pilot study to determine the feasibility of enhancing cognitive abilities in children with sensory processing dysfunction" (Anguera, 2017) was used as historical controls. All participants underwent 4-weeks of treatment with AKL-T01.
