Modulation of Cortical Brain Activity During Attentional Control

Participants receive simulated positive reinforcement feedback designed to mimic successful modulation of EEG alpha rhythms, despite the feedback not being directly based on their actual neural activity. This condition aims to create the perception of improved attentional control.

Participants receive simulated negative reinforcement feedback that mimics unsuccessful modulation of EEG alpha rhythms, regardless of their actual neural activity. This condition is intended to simulate reduced attentional control.

Participants perform the same attentional task but without receiving any feedback. This condition serves as a baseline to evaluate the effects of the sham neurofeedback interventions on EEG alpha rhythm modulation.
