Article Snippet: How data were acquired , EEG data 1. g.tec g.Nautilus Pro Flexible, 32-channel active electrodes wearable headset (mounted with g.scarabeo electrodes). 2. g.tech g.Nautilus Pro, 32 channel active electrode wearable headset (mounted with g.ladybird electrodes) 3. NeuroCONCISE FlexEEG, 8 channel electrode EEG headset – 3 bipolar channels and 5 mono-polar channels . A user datagram protocol (UDP) based communication was used to manage the communication between a Simulink module, used for EEG data acquisition and online signal processing, and the experimental protocol controller application in Unity 3D Game Engine . The NeuroSensi games platform was used to cue and present the feedback for both the NF and MI tasks . Psychological assessment data: An interviewer recorded participant responses to the following series of standardised mental health tests, pre- and post- NF and MI training: 1. PTSD Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th edition - DSM-5) check list (PCL-5, 20-item self-report measure, . 2. Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ, 40-item self-report measure, ). 3. Primary care PTSD screen for DSM-5 (5-item self-report PTSD Screen, ). 4. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS, 14-item self-report measure ). 5. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC, 10-item self-report measure, ). 6. Brief Resilience Scales (BRS, 6-item self-report measure, ). 7. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE, 10-item self-report measure, ). A questionnaire was completed by participants in the MI and NF training groups before and after each training session – to record their subjective measures of stress and mood. .
