Emotional Attention Bias Modification and Targeted Memory Reactivation in Alcohol Use Disorder

Emerging evidence shows that REM sleep is crucial for processing emotional memories and consolidating implicit memories. By using targeted memory reactivation (TMR), a known method where sound S1 and sound S2 are associated with a waking experience(i.e.negative emotional words is associated with alcohol-related cues and positive emotional words is associated with healthy lifestyle cues) and strengthened during REM sleep, the investigators aim to augment the control of craving levels in patients with Alcohol Use Disorder.

These patients will receive the treatment of emotional attention bias modification (EABM) without association with the sound S1 and sound S2.
