Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorders leading to dementia. Currently, there has been no effective pharmacologic therapy for this disease. Electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback is considered as a potentially treatment strategy. In this project, the investigators aim to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback therapy on cognition for individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). Participants will receive electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback therapy once a day for successive five days. Then, the investigators will evaluate the changes of memory function between baseline and post-therapy visits.
Currently, there has been no effective therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback is now considered as a potentially intervention and may positively affect cognitive function for patients with AD. However, there are few existing studies involving the role of neurofeedback on cognition for subjective cognitive decline (SCD).
Fifty participants with SCD will be recruited in this clinical trial. At baseline, neuropsychological tests are conducted. Participants will receive electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback therapy once a day for successive five days. After that, the investigators will evaluate the changes of memory measures, which is the primary outcome.

| Electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback | Behavioral | In this project, SCD participants will receive electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback therapy, once a day, for 5 days. Then, the investigators will compare their memory changes between baseline and post-therapy visits. |

| Changes of Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) score | After intervention for five days, the investigators will compare baseline and post-therapy memory changes based on Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) scale, in order to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of neurofeedback. The scale of AVLT focuses on the memory domain, especially AVLT-long delayed memory, with cut- off points as 5 (50-59 years old), 4 (60-69 years old), 3 (70-79 years old) and AVLT-recognition, with cut-off points as 20 (50-59 years old), 19 (60-69 years old), 18 (70-79 years old). Higher scores mean a better outcome. | Five days |
