Summary

This study tested a new brain-training method to help people with heroin addiction lower their cravings. Participants watched drug-related videos while getting real-time feedback on their brain activity, learning to match the brain patterns of people further along in recovery. The study involved 28 adults in early treatment and measured changes in craving scores and brain activity. If successful, this approach could lead to personalized tools for managing addiction.
