Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Real-time fMRI neurofeedback training induced volitional control of brain activity and connectivity could help individuals to gain better control over their emotions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the present proof-of-concept study, investigators plan to evaluate whether real-time fMRI neurofeedback training can enable individuals to gain volitional control over their fronto-limbic circuitry. Given that this circuitry has been abundantly implicated in emotional perception and regulation this could facilitate emotional control. Suitable participants underwent fronto-limbic connectivity feedback training and sham training in a cross over design. During both trainings participants are instructed to regulate the neural indices during feedback. We expect that receiving fronto-limbic feedback enhances emotion regulation during the training.
