Summary

Neurofeedback is a cognitive remediation technique that allows a subject to learn to regulate their cognitive and brain activity through information provided in real time about their brain activity, in particular electroencephalographic (EEG) brain activity. Neurofeedback could, through its impact on the degree of neuronal synchronization, help to reduce the impact of sleep deprivation on wakefulness and cognitive performance. The main objective is to study the effect of a program of 8 sessions of neurofeedback targeting EEG theta / beta activities, to modify the degree of neuronal synchronization, on the ability to maintain objective wakefulness measured by a maintenance wakefulness test (MWT) in healthy subjects presenting objective excessive daytime sleepiness after a full night of sleep deprivation under controlled experimental conditions. The objective of this study will also provide a better understanding of the learning modulation mechanisms of arousal systems.

Conditions

  • Sleep Deprivation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Neurofeedback

The intervention by neurofeedback (NF) will consist in providing the subjects with a feedback on their EEG Theta / Beta activity in real time Each subject will perform 8 sessions of neurofeedback (1h30 / session, 40 min of effective training by neurofeedback) at an average rate of 1 to 2 sessions per week.
