Previous research has shown that eye movements in people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and healthy people were different, and it is possible that there is a difference between the two groups' EOG signals. Therefore, in the present study, the recorded EOG signals of 30 children with ADHD and 30 healthy children were examined during performing an attentional related task. For this purpose, the scaling exponents of the two groups' EOG signals were calculated and the differences between the two groups were examined using statistical tests. The EOG signals were then classified using a Growing Neural Gas network. The results show that the scaling exponents of the EOG signals in children with ADHD were significantly higher than that of healthy children (p < 0.001). This result shows that the decay slope of power spectrum in ADHD children is more as compared to healthy children. In addition, the EOG signals were classified into two groups with a detection accuracy of 72.22±2.8%. The results of this study could be used to design a course of treatment with EOG biofeedback to treat or reduce the symptoms of people with ADHD.

In this article, differences between multichannel EEG signals of artists and nonartists were investigated during visual perception and mental imagery of some paintings and at resting condition using scaling exponent. It was found that scaling exponent is significantly higher for artists as compared to nonartists during the three mentioned states, suggesting that scaling exponent may reflect the influence of artistic expertise. No significant difference in scaling exponent was observed between the visual perception and the mental imagery tasks. In addition, the two groups were classified using scaling exponent of channel C4 and Neural Gas classifier during the visual perception, the mental imagery and the resting condition. The average classification accuracies were 50%, 58.12% and 70%, respectively. The obtained results suggest that discriminability in scaling exponent decreases during the performance of similar cognitive tasks.
