Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Single blind -participants are blinded Control - No treatment

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Kyoto University

Condition: Condition - Healthy Individuals Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - This study investigates the effects of pre-training-induced alpha-band activity on subsequent increases and enhancements, as well as the duration of these effects, to develop effective techniques for auditory neurofeedback facilitation. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Pre-Training and Auditory Neurofeedback Training Intervention A quiet room in the Human Health Sciences Building will be prepared. One research participant and one researcher will be present in the room. The room will be equipped with an electroencephalography (EEG) device (MUSE), one computer for music playback and data collection, and an iPad for playing instructional videos for the pre-training session. In this quiet environment, the participant will sit in a chair and undergo the pre-training with their eyes closed while following the audio instructions provided in the instructional video. Subsequently, while maintaining the eyes-closed state, the participant will listen to the classical music piece Air on the G String and will be instructed to direct their attention toward perceiving the sound of a babbling stream embedded in the musical background as clearly and for as long as possible. The total duration of each intervention session will be 30 minutes. Interventions/Control_2 - Auditory Neurofeedback Training Intervention A quiet room in the Human Health Sciences Building will be prepared. One research participant and one researcher will enter the room. The room will be equipped with an electroencephalography (EEG) device (MUSE) and one computer for music playback and data collection. In this quiet environment, the participant will sit in a chair and, with their eyes closed, listen to the classical music piece Air on the G String. The participant will be instructed to direct their attention toward perceiving the sound of a babbling stream embedded in the musical background as clearly and for as long as possible. The total duration of each intervention session will be 30 minutes.
