Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Current diagnostic methods rely primarily on subjective clinical evaluations, which are prone to bias. Neurophysiological techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), eye tracking, and electrodermal activity (EDA) offer promising objective alternatives; however, their adoption is limited by the scarcity of large, public, multimodal datasets. To address this gap, we introduce the BALLADEER ADHD Dataset, a comprehensive multimodal resource that integrates simultaneous EEG, eye-tracking, and physiological signals from children and adolescents with ADHD and neurotypical controls. Data were collected through carefully designed cognitive tasks aimed at eliciting neurophysiological responses related to attentional control, response inhibition, and cognitive flexibility-key domains affected in ADHD. The dataset facilitates the development of machine learning models for ADHD classification and biomarker discovery through cross-modal analyses of EEG, eye movements, and autonomic nervous system activity. By publicly releasing this dataset, we aim to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and innovation in computational neuroscience and ADHD research.
