Summary

This study tests whether watching a short, flickering video of black and white squares (called dynamic visual noise) can reduce alcohol cravings and drinking in college students who crave alcohol at least once a week. About 62 participants will watch either the flickering video or a still image daily for seven days. Researchers will measure changes in cravings, drinking, and attention to alcohol-related cues.
