What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Neurofeedback (NF) is a procedure for providing direct sensory feedback (in the form of visual, auditory or tactile stimulation) to a patient about their brain activity when performing a cognitive or motor task. This NF aims to allow the patient to become aware of this brain activity and thus learn to modulate it voluntarily in order to improve the performance obtained on the task.
The aim of the study is to compare a "standard NF" procedure to a "personalized NF" procedure designed to optimize the level of patient acceptability based on the results obtained through these questionnaires.
