简要总结
Participants play games designed to train visual attention towards natural, non-drug-related scenarios. A biofeedback loop between gameplay and an electroencephalogram (EEG) system monitors game performance and guides game difficulty.
详细描述
The main purpose of this project is to gather pilot data on neurofeedback games that use electroencephalogram (EEG)-based Attention Bias Modification (ABM) to reduce cue-induced drug craving processes in individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The project will involve the use of three empirically-supported and potentially therapeutic games that include drug- (such as pill bottle and syringe) and non-drug-related stimuli (such as food and smiling faces). An EEG system will be used to monitor brain activity during gameplay.
The neurofeedback loop for attention training will be synchronized to cue presentations using EEGs which monitor visual Event-Related Potentials (ERP) signatures of attention. The degree of difficulty (i.e., cue content) on subsequent trials of the game will be determined based on the level of attention measured in the neurofeedback loop.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in ERP-Based Classification of Opioid-Related Attention Bias (Probability Score)
时间窗: Pre- to post-biofeedback session (same day, approximately 30 minutes)
The primary outcome will be the change in ERP-based classification scores (probability values) reflecting opioid-related attention bias. ERP voltages from all electrodes will be classified with coefficients reflecting increased amplitude in Early Posterior Negativity (150 to 300 ms), P300 complex (250 to 450 ms), and Late Positive Potential (400 to 900 ms) windows. Change in classification score from the last minus first block will be evaluated.
Change in Visual Probe Task Reaction Time (milliseconds) to Drug-Related Stimuli
时间窗: Pre- to post-biofeedback session (same day, approximately 30 minutes)
The primary outcome will be the change in reaction time (milliseconds) on the Visual Probe Task, measuring attention bias toward drug-related versus neutral stimuli. Participants will complete the task before and after the biofeedback session. Attention bias is indicated by differences in reaction time when responding to probes replacing drug-related versus neutral stimuli. Improvement is reflected by reduced bias scores, calculated as the difference between reaction times to drug-related versus neutral probes. Change scores from pre- to post-session will be analyzed.
次要结局
- Change in Rating of Cue Reactivity (1-5 Likert Scale)(Pre- to post-biofeedback for a given scene (same day, approximately 30 seconds))
- Change in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Rating of Instantaneous Opioid Craving (1-100)(Pre- to post-biofeedback session (same day, approximately 30 minutes))
