Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of neurofeedback training on measures of cognitive control and alcohol motivation among young adults who drink alcohol on a regular basis. Neurofeedback is a cognitive training technique that uses portable electroencephalography (EEG) technology to adjust brain activity through immediate sensory feedback. This study is using a type of EEG device called a MuseTM headset that monitors ongoing brain activity and synchronizes this information with a mindfulness training app on a mobile device. This study is a pilot study to examine the feasibility and effects of neurofeedback training in a sample of young adults. Future studies may use similar protocols with people who have substance use disorders or other mental health disorders.
