Filter by:This study investigates whether the sense of agency is sensitive to self-regulation by means of EEG-based neurofeedback. During neurofeedback, the brain activity in response to a motor task is recorded in real-time and displayed back to the participants. The participants can therefore use this information to adapt their performance on the motor task.
Developed by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Project UPLIFT (Using Practice and Learning to Increase Favorable Thoughts) is a group telephone program designed to improve depression for people with epilepsy. Project UPLIFT uses evidence-based approaches of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to help people manage and prevent symptoms of depression. For people with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, there are few treatment options for depression that address the relationship between mood and seizures. There is evidence that mindfulness-based therapy and cognitive therapy are both effective for people with non-epileptic seizures, both in treating depression and reducing seizure frequency. In this study, Project UPLIFT will be offered to patients with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. Project UPLIFT is facilitated by a trained clinician to groups of 4-8 patients over the telephone. The group will meet at a regular time, once a week, for 8 consecutive weeks. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: an immediate-treatment or a waitlist control group which will begin Project UPLIFT 3 months after enrolling in the study.
