RESEARCH GOVERNANCE
Research oversight & responsibilities.
QU-001 brings together academic research, clinical neurofeedback expertise, and simulation technology development to investigate financial decision-making under controlled experimental conditions.
The research team contributes specialized expertise in study methodology, neurofeedback protocol development, behavioral measurement, and software implementation.
QU-001 has received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Scientific findings remain pending. IRB approval reflects ethics review of the study protocol; it does not establish the scientific validity of the Behavioral Market Simulation or demonstrate neurofeedback effectiveness.
PARTICIPATE
Help us study decisions under pressure.
QU-001 is recruiting Quinnipiac University students age 18+. Participants complete neurofeedback and trading simulation sessions as part of an IRB-approved study.
