A 4-week mobile mindfulness training program, with or without neurofeedback assistance, reduced stress and improved psychological health in full-time employees. The neurofeedback-assisted group showed the greatest gains in resilience and relaxation, measured by electroencephalography, compared with a group that used only paper-based stress management materials. All groups completed assessments at baseline, immediately after training, and at a 4-week follow-up. The neurofeedback group's resilience improvements persisted through the follow-up period. The study suggests that adding neurofeedback may enhance the benefits of brief mobile mindfulness training for employee well-being, though larger and longer studies are needed.
