Summary

This study tested whether EEG can predict brain activity patterns measured by fMRI during cognitive tasks. 24 healthy adults completed two sessions of brain activity recording and neurofeedback. The goal is to make personalized neurofeedback more accessible by using simpler EEG technology.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to more accessible and personalized neurofeedback training using EEG instead of expensive fMRI.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study in healthy adults. The findings may not apply to clinical populations, and the predictive accuracy of EEG may be limited.
