Core Tip	We have developed and designed a novel dual-task paradigm to investigate attentional switching function in patients with major depressive disorder. This paradigm integrates event-related potential technology, enabling the precise capture of brain activity during attentional switching tasks. This study revealed neurophysiological characteristics associated with attentional switching abnormalities in patients with major depressive disorder, offering valuable insights into the underlying neural mechanisms and potentially guiding future targeted interventions for depression.
