Researchers are studying whether a type of brain feedback—delivered through a virtual reality headset—can help improve your ability to focus and control attention. The study measures brain wave activity (specifically alpha rhythms) while you complete attention tasks in virtual reality. You'll experience three different feedback conditions: positive feedback, negative feedback, and no feedback at all.
When people struggle to control their attention, they often get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns (like repetitive worrying) that are linked to depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia. This trial explores whether training your attention through brain feedback could help break those patterns and give you better mental control.

You'll wear a virtual reality headset and an EEG cap (a special cap that measures brain waves) while completing attention-focused tasks. During these tasks, you'll receive different types of feedback on your performance—sometimes positive, sometimes negative, and sometimes none at all. The study involves a within-subject design, meaning you'll experience all three feedback conditions, likely during one or more research visits.
