A single blinded study exploring the efficacy of improving affect and cognitive performance using two sham-controlled theta neurofeedback protocols within a healthy sample

This thesis aimed to evaluate whether a single-blinded 30-minute session of theta neurofeedback (NF) training can successfully alter affect and cognitive performance compared to a control within 34 healthy participants. Two theta training protocols were compared based on sources of theta frequency found in literature. The results discussed in this thesis provide a discussion on NF learning, the design of NF protocols and the feasibility of acute NF training sessions.
