In this study, researchers are exploring a way to help people manage stress through a technique called neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is like a special brain training where you learn to control your brain activity using feedback. This study combines this technique with meditation, focusing on how different brain rhythms interact. It aims to see if this combination can improve stress management over 10 sessions, each lasting about 20 minutes, twice a week for 5 weeks.
Participants will be split into two groups: one gets real training, and the other gets a fake version (sham) to compare results. They will sit in front of a computer, relax, and listen to sounds that help them focus. The study will check how this affects their stress, mood, and biological responses.
- Commitment: 10 sessions over 5 weeks.
- Measurement: Stress and mood assessments during and after the study.
- Eligibility: No recent meditation practice or certain medications.
Participants will also use a health patch to monitor heart activity and report their feelings during the study.
