This group will receive 12 sessions of neurofeedback (20 minutes each session) targeting beta and theta. The neurofeedback protocol will aim at increasing frequencies between 16-25 and decreasing 4-7 Hz

This group will receive 12 sessions of standard practice cognitive therapy (20 minutes each session) targeting attentional deficits.

Neurofeedback (NF) or electroencephalographic feedback (EEG) training refers to a type of computerized cognitive training that changes EEG patterns through operant conditioning. NF is a computerized rehabilitation technique but also a non-invasive neuromodulation approach, as it alters brain activity by delivering a stimulus. It is well-established for the treatment of conditions such as anxiety and ADHD. During NF rehabilitative training, the subject is provided with real-time EEG feedback, usually with a visual or auditory stimulus, with the aim of normalizing brain oscillations. Rehabilitation through NF training generally targets EEG frequencies that are affected and underlie the observed behavioral deficit (e.g., attentional dysfunctions).

The Conners Continuous Performance Test (CCPT ) is a computer administered test designed to assess problems with attention. It presents 360 stimuli trials (i.e., individual letters) on the screen, with 1, 2, or 4 seconds intervals between the presentation. The 360 trials are divided into 18 blocks of 20 trials each and participants instructed to press the spacebar or the appropriate key on the mouse for any letter that appears, except the letter "X." The CCPT takes 14 minutes to administer. Through the various measures of the CCPT we can measure different aspects of attentional deficits such as processing speed, sustained and selective attention, inhibition, vigilance, inattention.

The Color Trail Test evaluates processing speed, selective attention, sequencing, mental flexibility, visual search, and motor function. It has been used for detecting cognitive impairment in early stages and a wide variety of neurological processes and disorders. In Part A of the test, the subject is presented with a sheet with numbers from 1 to 25 placed inside circles and distributed randomly across an A4-sized sheet. The task involves connecting the numbers consecutively and in ascending order as quickly as possible. In Part B of the test, the 25 numbers are duplicated inside circles of two different colors, a sequence of pink and another of yellow. In this part, the subject must connect the consecutive numbers while alternating the color of the circles.

The Spatial Span test relies on visuospatial working memory. It is a variation of the Corsi block tapping task a widely used tool in clinical neuropsychology to assess non-verbal memory deficits. The original task involves irregularly arranged mounted wooden blocks, and the examiner taps out a sequence that the patient is required to mimic. The digit span test is a very short test that evaluates a person's cognitive status that initially was part of Wechsler's Intelligence Scale. It consists of telling the participant a series of numbers and ask him to repeat them back to you in the same order you say them. The first series are composed of three numbers, the next series four numbers, then five etc. The series are repeated until one incorrect answer is observed. Both the digit and spatial span tests are frequently used in hospitals and physicians' offices in order for a clinician to quickly evaluate whether a person's cognitive abilities are normal or impaired

The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) is a multidimensional measurement device intended to assess participants' subjective experience related to a target activity in laboratory experiments. It is composed of several subscales that measure enjoyment, perceived competence, effort, value, felt pressure, perceived choice. The interest/enjoyment subscale is the self-report measure of intrinsic motivation. Although research has showed that the order in which the subscales are presented is negligible, all subscales are rarely administered and researchers generally choose the subscales relevant to their study. In the present study we will administer the items related to the interest/enjoyment subscale.
