Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Attention Intervention using a customized BCI decoder

"During the offline phase of the intervention, participants will perform an attentional task while intracranial brain activity is recorded. Data from this session will be used to train a personalized decoder capable of classifying attentional engagement.~During the training phase, participants will receive real-time visual feedback contingent on their brain activity when attentional engagement is detected. This closed-loop feedback aims to reinforce successful attention and enhance performance over repeated sessions."

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Intervention without using a customized BCI decoder

"During the offline phase, participants will perform an attentional task while intracranial brain activity is recorded. A personalized decoder will be created for each participant but will not be used during the training phase sessions.~During the training phase, participants will receive visual feedback while performing attentional tasks; however, the feedback will not be contingent on their brain activity. Instead, feedback will be non-contingent and unrelated to actual attentional engagement. This group is not expected to experience improvements in attentional performance through the training sessions."
