About this trial
This study aims to investigate the associations between emotion regulation ability, stress-induced neural activity changes, and susceptibility to relapse in smokers attempting to quit. Participants will undergo assessments of emotion regulation, neural activity via quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), and stress responses before and during a 24-hour nicotine abstinence period. They will then participate in a computerized smoking cessation intervention, and their abstinence status will be monitored for 6 months.
