Abstract
Advancements in neurofeedback training, particularly through neurofeedback training companions, offer promising avenues for cognitive enhancement and therapeutic interventions. This study investigates the relationship between self-reported cognitive complaints and the acceptability of a neurofeedback companion, aiming to determine whether specific self-reported cognitive complaints influence users' perceptions of the technology's usefulness, ease of use, and their behavioural intention to use it. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted with 518 participants, utilizing validated questionnaires to measure cognitive complaints, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, feelings towards new technologies and behavioural intention. Participants were recruited through flyers, social media, and email invitations to participate. An online questionnaire was used to collect data, and ethical approval was obtained from the University of Groningen. Multiple regression analyses and MANOVA were employed to test the hypotheses. The results indicated no significant associations between cognitive complaints and the acceptability factors of the neurofeedback companion. Multiple regression analyses and MANOVA revealed that higher levels of cognitive complaints did not predict lower perceived usefulness, ease of use, or behavioural intention. These findings suggest that cognitive complaints are not a critical factor in determining the acceptability of neurofeedback companions. This study highlights the importance of exploring other factors that may influence the adoption and effectiveness of neurofeedback technologies. Future research should consider longitudinal studies and broader demographic samples to better understand these relationships and enhance the design and implementation of neurofeedback interventions.
