Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
3-backIt will be measured over the course of four weeks

The subject is presented with a sequence of stimuli, and the task consists of indicating when the current stimulus matches the one from 3 steps earlier in the sequence.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EEG - alpha powerIt will be measured over the course of four weeks

Brain activity will be measured with an electroencephalography collected at rest. We will first look at the change in alpha power (8-12Hz)

StroopIt will be measured over the course of four weeks

The subject has to name the font color of a printed word, while it can have a mismatch between the word and the color (ex: green is written in red).

EEG - beta powerIt will be measured over the course of four weeks

Brain activity will be measured with an electroencephalography collected at rest. We will also look at the change in other frequency bands (e.g., beta, theta, delta).
