Their product and some of the others can clearly show you get better at their product and you get better at tests that look exactly like their product. But in terms of real world, how much is this really helping ADHD symptoms on a day-to-day basis? Not a lot of data at all. So again, that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

And I'm going to go sideways in talking about neurofeedback because there's lots and lots of neurofeedback companies across the country that are making Lots and lots of money.

And again, I'm not saying it doesn't have an effect, but I've had lots of people saying, writing me, should I keep spending hundreds of dollars each week because my insurance isn't covering this? And the doctor saying, oh, maybe 20 more episodes will retrain your brain. So this gets back to a topic you brought up earlier, how much are we retraining our brains with immersion in social media?
