A neuroimaging dataset on response inhibition and selective attention in adults and children with and without ADHD

In this article we describe the dataset titled “Response inhibition and selective attention in adults and children with and without ADHD” which is publicly available on OpenNeuro.org. This dataset is comprised of neuroimaging and standardized cognitive assessment scores from 11 adults, 12 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 15 age matched children without ADHD. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data were collected while participants completed selective attention and response inhibition tasks designed and balanced for within or cross-task comparisons. Previous research utilizing this dataset has yet to explore associations between brain function and cognitive assessment scores or differences in neural processes across stimuli features making this dataset valuable for its future contributions to the field as well as replication of prior findings.
