First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how alcohol changes the way the brain processes social cues and alcohol-related images. Researchers tested a technique called neurofeedback, where people see their own brain activity in real time and try to control it. 101 adults (some with alcohol use disorder, some healthy) took part. The goal was to understand brain patterns linked to drinking and see if neurofeedback could reduce cravings.
