Summary

This project will examine whether individuals can be trained, using real-time feedback about brain function during neuroimaging, to effectively remove thoughts from mind by providing them with a sense of what it feels like to successfully remove a thought.

Conditions

  • Neurofeedback
  • Cognitive Training
  • Memory, Short-Term
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

fMRI neurofeedback

fMRI neurofeedback is a technique that allows individuals to observe real-time feedback of their brain activity as measured by fMRI scans. During a session, the participant lies inside an MRI scanner while their whole brain is scanned. This data is processed in real-time by a computer and then presented to the participant in the form of visual feedback. This feedback might be presented as a graph, a color-coded representation, or some other easily interpretable format. The participant is instructed to modulate their brain activity based on the feedback they receive. This can involve various mental strategies, such as focusing attention on specific thoughts, images, or sensations. Over repeated sessions, participants learn to consciously influence their brain activity based on the feedback they receive. Through trial and error, they discover which mental strategies are most effective for achieving their desired changes in brain activity.
