Abstract

As a significant component of executive function, goal-directed attentional control is crucial for cognitive processing and is closely linked to frontal-midline theta (FMT) rhythms. However, how up-regulation and down-regulation of FMT through neurofeedback training (NFT) impact goal-directed attention control remains unclear, especially for both short-term and long-lasting effects. Therefore, this study employed a single-blind sham-controlled between-subject design to answer this question. Forty-seven healthy adults were randomly assigned to the up-regulation, down-regulation, or sham control groups. Each group underwent one NFT session per day at the Fz electrode site for four consecutive days. All participants completed a visual search task before, immediately after the first, after the final, and one week following the last NFT session. The down-regulation group significantly reduced FMT activity during NFT and in the resting state (p < = 0.038), while the up-regulation group only showed an upward trend during the training phase (r = 0.721, p = 0.002). The behavioral performance showed no significant improvement in any group (p > 0.05). Importantly, the FMT learning efficacy in the up-regulation group revealed a significantly negative correlation with the change in switch cost (r = -0.602, p = 0.046). These findings suggest a close link between the up-regulation efficacy of FMT rhythms and goal-directed attentional control. In educational or clinical settings, it would be desirable to improve goal-directed attention through enhancement of FMT up-regulation efficacy of NFT in future work.

不同训练方向的额中线 Theta 神经反馈对目标定向注意控制的影响
作为执行功能的重要组成部分,目标定向注意控制对认知处理至关重要,并与额叶-中线θ(FMT)节律密切相关。然而,神经反馈训练(NFT)对FMT的上调和下调如何影响目标定向注意控制仍不清楚,尤其是短期和长期效应。因此,本研究采用了单盲假对照受试者间设计来回答这一问题。47名健康成年人被随机分配到上调组、下调组或假对照组。每组每天在 Fz 电极部位接受一次 NFT 治疗,连续四天。所有参与者分别在第一次 NFT 治疗之前、之后、最后一次 NFT 治疗之后和最后一次 NFT 治疗一周之后完成视觉搜索任务。下调组在 NFT 期间和静息状态下的 FMT 活动明显减少(P 0.05)。重要的是,上调组的 FMT 学习效果与转换成本的变化呈显著负相关(r = -0.602,p = 0.046)。这些研究结果表明,FMT节奏的上调功效与目标定向注意控制之间存在密切联系。在教育或临床环境中,我们希望在未来的工作中通过提高 FMT 对 NFT 的上调功效来改善目标定向注意。

期刊介绍: Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is an international, interdisciplinary journal devoted to study of the interrelationship of physiological systems, cognition, social and environmental parameters, and health. Priority is given to original research, basic and applied, which contributes to the theory, practice, and evaluation of applied psychophysiology and biofeedback. Submissions are also welcomed for consideration in several additional sections that appear in the journal. They consist of conceptual and theoretical articles; evaluative reviews; the Clinical Forum, which includes separate categories for innovative case studies, clinical replication series, extended treatment protocols, and clinical notes and observations; the Discussion Forum, which includes a series of papers centered around a topic of importance to the field; Innovations in Instrumentation; Letters to the Editor, commenting on issues raised in articles previously published in the journal; and select book reviews. Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback is the official publication of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
