NeuroBait Fine-Tunes AI Model to Enhance Dopamine Response for ADHD Treatment

It started with my wife What NeuroBait does The stack Default model vs. fine-tuned Not just for ADHD Where it's going A Backyard AI project. Built at home with a small model for a big impact ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental that affects how the brain processes information, regulates attention, and controls impulses. My wife has ADHD. I’ve watched her stand in front of a pile of laundry, know exactly what to do, and still not be able to start. Frozen, not lazy. For an ADHD brain the problem was never knowing what to do. It’s the gap between knowing and starting. Most ADHD AI tools get this wrong. They focus on diagnosis and theory: quizzes, checklists, neat to-do lists. But a to-do list for someone in a freeze is just more to choose between, plus a faint voice saying “try harder.” Correct, and completely useless. So I tried something different. I took the theory (executive dysfunction, task-initiation paralysis, the interest-based nervous system, think DSM clinical framing meets The Queen of Distraction) and tested it against something the research rarely has: real observation and practice, on the person I live with. What actually unfreezes her? Not a plan.
