Bold text indicates significant results; italic text indicates results that were not reported in the original article but could be estimated from available data; underlined text indicates reported results that we transformed for the sake of homogeneity.

Abbreviations: ANT, attention network task; fmTheta, frontal‐midline theta; ind_fmTheta, individual frontal‐midline theta; NA, not available; NFT, neurofeedback training; NR, not reported; NS, not significant; NT, not tested.
