Sponsor: Florida International University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The study examines the efficacy of a mindfulness-based neurofeedback protocol designed to improve academic performance and reduce performance anxiety in racial and ethnic minority college students. Using NeuroSky and BrainTrain technology, the intervention incorporates mindfulness principles to enhance participants' self-regulation skills. Continuous heart rate variability (HRV) data is collected to assess stress levels, sleep, and exercise. The research aims to explore the acceptability and feasibility of this approach, with the goal of addressing academic performance and anxiety in this population.

Interventions

DEVICE

NeuroSky Mindfulness-Based Neurofeedback

NeuroSky will monitor participants' brain response to the intervention and provide feedback based on the participants' performance. Neurofeedback Intervention: When practicing the mindfulness-based intervention, NeuroSky will provide instructions before beginning the sessions. Dr. Saul will assist with set up and answer any questions. The apps audio and visual feedback will assist the participants as they practice mindfulness meditation. Participants in the experimental group will practice for 10 minutes in the lab during Sessions 1 and 5 and then at home for 10-20 minutes daily for 4 weeks with weekly 10-minute virtual check-ins with Dr. Saul to ensure acceptability and feasibility. Dr. Saul will also monitor participants' progress using the secure participant portal and de-identified usernames available through NeuroSky.
