| This study expects to provide a comprehensive view of adult individuals who have experienced COVID-19, offering insight into the relationship between cognitive failures, self-reflection, insight, and quality of life. Furthermore, it aims to generate new possibilities for non-invasive rehabilitation without side effects for this population. ;Scientific outputs in the form of peer-reviewed articles disseminating these findings are also anticipated. The study seeks to elucidate the levels of cognitive failures, self-reflection, insight, and quality of life in the target population, as this knowledge may serve as a foundation for public policies and interventions aimed at cognitive rehabilitation and improving the quality of life in this group. ;The research intends to contribute to ongoing discussions about the empirical validity of EEGq-NFT as an intervention within the field of neuroscience and cognitive rehabilitation. It is believed that this project may further the debate on the effectiveness of EEGq-NFT in enhancing attention and working memory, particularly in adults experiencing post-COVID-19 cognitive impairment.;This study expects to find a negative correlation between cognitive failures, insight, and quality of life; a positive correlation between quality of life and insight; and a negative correlation between self-reflection and quality of life.;An association is expected to be found between clinical data (comorbidities, history of psychiatric disorders) and the levels of cognitive failures, self-reflection and insight, and quality of life in post-COVID-19 adults.;The EEGq-NFT intervention is expected to be effective in reducing the theta/beta ratio in the central and frontal regions of the cortex, as well as enhancing attention and working memory in adults with cognitive impairment associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome. This study proposes a new and promising cognitive rehabilitation intervention technology, especially for attention and working memory, wi | — |
