Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
3-back
Time Frame: It 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 Outcomes
- EEG - alpha power(It will be measured over the course of four weeks)
- EEG - beta power(It will be measured over the course of four weeks)
- Stroop(It will be measured over the course of four weeks)
