About this trial

This randomised, double bling and controled study aim to evaluate the performance of a neurofeedback training on attentional capabilities, in comparison to placebo. We hypothesize 1) that an electroencephalographic (EEG) based neurofeedback training may improve attentional performances of healthy subjects, and 2) inter-individual variability might be explained by factors such as body awarness, sleep parameters and genetics of individuals.
