Título

TEMPORAL PERCEPTION IN SERIOUS GAME ENVIRONMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER AND CHRONOTYPE.

Introdução

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurobehavioral condition, a neurobiological disorder, of multifactorial etiology, that appears in childhood and often accompanies the individual throughout his life, often characterized, by the clustering of symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity. It affects about 3% of the world population, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Circadian rhythm, sleep, and time perception are innate conditions in several animal species, and are essential for essential daily activities, including hormone levels, cognitive function, and motor activity. A "serious game" supported by digital computer technology, easily accessible, with effective applicability, with time perception tasks inserted into the system, could be a new treatment tool for ADHD associated with Sleep.

Objetivo

To analyze whether the treatment intervention with temporal perception of ADHD improves the levels of attention, hyperactivity and chronotype with the use of serious games.

Métodos

Students from the Federal University of Parnaiba Delta, at the Ministro Reis Velloso Campus, will be selected, following the eligibility criteria of the project. Participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be selected to perform the activity. In addition, the participants will play time perception games concomitant to the brain mapping. The participants will use an actigraph, for a period of one week, with the purpose of obtaining the period of activity related to the circadian rhythm. The study will be carried out in the Laboratory of Technological Neuroinnovation & Brain Mapping located in the Federal University of Parnaíba Delta - Campus Ministro Reis Velloso, in the municipality of Parnaíba, PI.

Conclusões

Technological innovation, as one of its pillars, should promote efficient and effective solutions in the improvement and development of new tools that facilitate research, professional performance and improve the understanding of diagnoses in health. The development of the project will contribute to the understanding of serious games associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and its relationship with sleep disorders, through the analysis of the circadian system and time perception capacity. The tools used in the project, may be the basis for the advancement of technology in healthcare and the understanding of correct treatment protocols.
