What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind, controlled study evaluates the effectiveness of electroencephalographic (EEG) neurofeedback training on attentional capabilities in healthy subjects compared to a placebo group. The study aims to demonstrate that EEG-based neurofeedback can enhance attention performance, while also exploring factors such as body awareness, sleep parameters, and genetics that may influence individual variability in training efficacy. Participants will undergo assessments using the Attentional Network Task to measure changes in conflict monitoring scores before and after the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy male and female volunteers aged between 18 and 50 years.
Not a fit: Patients with any pathological issues, previous brain or auditory injuries, or those who have undergone neurofeedback training before may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved attention performance in individuals, benefiting various professional and daily activities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown mixed results regarding the efficacy of neurofeedback training, indicating that while some approaches have been successful, the field remains an area of ongoing investigation.
