Study on Neurofeedback and Relaxation

Summary

This longitudinal study deals with the characterization of the electrophysiological and behavioral effects of alpha-based neurofeedback training on the brain networks involved in the relaxation process of healthy people.

Conditions

• Healthy People

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Alpha-based neurofeedback

Twelve 21-minute sessions (minimum of 1 session and maximum of 3 sessions per week) of auditory alpha-based neurofeedback with the Melomind device developed by myBrain Technologies (France). Recording of felt relaxation, perceived stress level, anxiety level pre-post sessions. Electrophysiological: Recording of EEG signals on 32 electrodes every two sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

Sham neurofeedback

Twelve 21-minute sessions (minimum of 1 session and maximum of 3 sessions per week) of an auditory sham neurofeedback with the Melomind device developed by myBrain Technologies (France). Sham feedback is based on the real feedback of the participants in the Experimental arm. Recording of felt relaxation, perceived stress level, anxiety level pre-post sessions. Electrophysiological: Recording of EEG signals on 32 electrodes every two sessions.
