Executive function play a key role in boosting human behavioural performance. Based on scientific literature, it is still controversial whether electroencephalography-based neurofeedback (EEG-NFB) represents an effective technique for enhancing healthy adults' executive function. This study evaluates generalized effects of 3-week EEG-NFB training, using self-regulation of the theta to beta wave ratio (TBR), on executive function in healthy adults. The subjects are an uniform group of healthy young right-handed males divided into two equal groups. The trained group (TR) performs 3-week EEG-NFB training (three sessions per week) focused on a cognitive self-regulation of TBR (to achieve the lower TBR values as beneficial cognitive effect), while the control group (CO) does not participate in the EEG-NFB training. Cognitive function are rated before and after 3-week EEG-NFB training by psychological tests: Trail Making Test (TMT, parts A and B) and the Stroop Test (ST, parts I and II). This project is important for the future development of effective EEG-NFB protocols to be used by healthy people to improve their behavioural performance.
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled direct-to-consumer study of health and wellness products on mental clarity and other health outcomes
This is a randomized controlled human exposure crossover study. Investigators aims to assess the acute effects of high temperature exposure and the underlying mechanisms.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of oral ketone administration during and immediately after an ultramarathon. Potential changes in cognitive function (reaction time, number of errors), running performance, jump height, skeletal muscle inflammatory infiltration and hormonal alterations will be the main focus. In this context, subjects (n=24) will perform a 100km ultrarunning trail, while receiving either ketone ester (KE, n =12) or placebo (CON, n=12). Experimental measurements will be performed immediately before and after the ultramarathon as well as 24h after the ultramarathon.
Implementing a Skills-Based Caregiver Training (Caregivers FIRST): Function QUERI 2.0 aims to compare implementation strategies for large-scale spread of Caregivers FIRST, a group training for friend or family caregivers of Veterans. The goal is to use a type III effectiveness-implementation hybrid design framework to compare continuation of implementation strategies for 24 sites that do not meet implementation adoption benchmarks.
This study aims to test the feasibility of using exercises in virtual reality for cognitive training of patients with alcohol use disorder undergoing residential treatment.
