We are continually exposed to various visual stimuli in our contemporary society. Temporal frequency characteristics of the neural response to visual stimuli have been reported: Some temporal stimulation frequencies enhance neural responses and these frequencies are harmonically related, with a greatest common divisor frequency of approximately 6.5 Hz. Such stimuli, especially when high in temp...

BACKGROUND Although motivational processes may influence the intervention effects and help prevention programmes identify students at great risk for alcohol-related problems, no computerized alcohol intervention has yet to be tailored to drinking motives. OBJECTIVE To describe the development and initial pilot testing of a computer-delivered intervention tailored to drinking motives, to preve...
