Learning mindfulness with real-time brain feedback for mood disorders

This trial is testing a new way to teach mindfulness—a calming technique—using real-time feedback from your brain activity. Half of the participants will receive live feedback from sensors measuring their brainwaves and heart rate during mindfulness exercises, while the other half will do the same exercises without this feedback. Researchers want to see if this real-time information helps people with depression or bipolar disorder reduce stress and feel better.

Many people with mood disorders struggle with stress and symptoms, and standard mindfulness training doesn't work equally well for everyone. This trial is testing whether giving people instant feedback about their brain and body responses during mindfulness can help them learn the technique more effectively and feel better results.
