Characterization of the role of cardiac interoception in neurofeedback efficacy Context: In military environments, where high-stress situations are common, maintaining or enhancing cognitive performance is critical for ensuring both the safety and success of combat operations. Similar to physical training, emerging techniques like neurofeedback offer the potential to optimize cognitive abilities in soldiers. Neurofeedback relies on a brain-computer interface that allows individuals to consciously modulate specific brain activities, training their brains to function more efficiently1.
