Het heeft geen betrekking op mensen met een aandoening: gezonde militairen (die hun missie hebben kunnen afronden) zijn onze doelgroep healthy soldiers

Interventions

The intervention will consist of 10 sessions of training. In the NF- and random beta feedback training (N = 80, total of 45 min), EEG measurements will take place. In addition to the EEG measuremen
