Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has a high prevalence but the neurobiological mechanisms underlying ADHD remain unclear. We characterize resting EEG-fMRI coupling differences between ADHD and controls by EEG-fMRI. Based on the literature, we expected EEG-fMRI alterations in central resting and cognitive control networks. In 33 adults (17 ADHD), frequency-band specific EEG power was correlated with fMRI signal alterations during alternating eyes open and closed blocks (p < 0.05 corrected). We found bidirectional group differences in low (theta) to high (alpha) frequency bands in regions of the described networks. We conclude that sensory- and cognitive processing is compromised in adults with ADHD.
