Official title: Modulating Stress-Reactivity by Real-Time Multimodal Functional Neuroimaging Based Neurofeedback

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of the outlined study is to establish a Real-Time (RT) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Neurofeedback (NF) (RT-fMRI-NF) protocol aiming at modulating neural, endocrine, and subjective reactivity to psychosocial stress.

Clinical Trial Description

The overall goal of the outlined study is to establish an RT-fMRI-NF protocol aiming at modulating neural, endocrine, and subjective reactivity to psychosocial stress. More specifically, the investigators pursue the following goals: a) to evaluate whether neural and subjective stress-reactivity can be modified by training volitional control over targeted brain activity by means of RT-fMRI-NF; b) to evaluate whether neuromodulation by means of RT-fMRI-NF can be used as a new way to modulate hormone-release into the periphery; and c) to evaluate whether the efficacy of neuromodulation by RT-fMRI-NF can also be reflected on EEG data as well as the autonomic nervous system (ANS) measured by heart rate variability (HRV). ;
