Brain waves and beats: a new hope for test stress?

This trial tests whether a multisensory brain-training method, called audiovisual entrainment neurofeedback, can help high school students reduce academic anxiety and improve creative thinking. Participants will use a wearable EEG headset and heart rate monitor during six sessions, receiving real-time feedback to encourage relaxed, focused brain states. The study compares this combined approach against neurofeedback alone, audiovisual entrainment alone, and a sham control to see which is most effective.
