About

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential efficacy of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (RT- functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) -NF) in regulating brain activity and psychophysiological functions.

Full description

The overall goal of the outlined study is to establish a real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (RT-fMRI-NF) protocol aiming at modulating brain activity and psychophysiological functions. About two weeks after the initial training session it will be estimated how stable training effects have been. The two weeks in between, subjects will receive ambulatory training of the strategies via a smartphone-based application.
