Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Power of the theta oscillations measured with EEG before the neurofeedback training (pre-measurement), immediately after the training (post-measurement), and after 6 months (follow-up measurement) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Executive functions: 1.1. Memory updating assessed using the N-back task 1.2. Response inhibition assessed using the Stop-signal task 1.3. Task switching assessed using the letter-number switching task 1.4. Conflict monitoring assessed using the Stroop task For these tasks the reaction times and accuracy percentage will be calculated. The tasks will be administered before the neurofeedback training (pre-measurement), immediately after the neurofeedback training (post-measurement), and 6 months after the training (follow-up measurement) | — |
