Neurodynamic of the Human Brain Underlying Animal-assisted Intervention in Healthy Adults

NCT05837546 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The electrical activity of the brain will be studied using EEG on healthy young adults. The frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) of the participant will be measured during three conditions: presence of a dog, presence of a replica dog, presence of a plant. The researchers hypothesize that the activity in the left frontal hemisphere is greater than in the right during an animal-assisted intervention compared to the control conditions.
