چکیده
Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 12 Number 2 Summer 2007 34 Development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has opened awhole newwindow on the brain. Patients with severely impaired consciousness, who were previously thought to be incapable of cognitive or sensory function, have been found, with the use of fMRI, to have stimulus-activated cortical networks, despite lack of any consistent or reliablemotor response. With the emergence of real-time fMRI, combined with special virtual reality goggles, it is now possible to see one’s own brain function in real time. Moreover, the feedback provided by realtime fMRI may provide a means for self-modulating pain, cancer, inflammation, and the immune system. Current studies and/or planned studies using fMRI feedback to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and stroke are already in theworks.
