Alpha Down Electroencephalography (EEG) Neurofeedback for Alcohol Use Disorder: Feasibility Trial

This pilot study is testing a short brain training program called neurofeedback in adults with alcohol use disorder. Participants will complete three sessions over about one week. The goal is to learn if this approach is easy to complete, well tolerated, and acceptable to participants. We will also explore whether it is associated with changes in alcohol cravings and drinking.
