Feedback-driven learning, observed across phylogeny and of clear adaptive value, is frequently operationalized in simple operant conditioning paradigms, but it can be much more complex, driven by abstract representations of success and failure. This study investigates the neural processes involved in processing success and failure during feedback learning, which are not well understood. Data an...

It has frequently been reported that some users of conventional neurofeedback systems can experience only a small portion of the total feedback range due to the large interindividual variability of EEG features. In this study, we proposed a data-driven neurofeedback strategy considering the individual variability of electroencephalography (EEG) features to permit users of the neurofeedback syst...

Neurofeedback based on real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an emerging technique that allows for learning voluntary control over brain activity. Such brain training has been shown to cause specific behavioral or cognitive enhancements, and even therapeutic effects in neurological and psychiatric patient populations. However, for clinical applications it is important to kno...

Neural models of major depressive disorder (MDD) posit that over-response of components of the brain's salience network (SN) to negative stimuli plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of MDD. In the present proof-of-concept study, we tested this formulation directly by examining the affective consequences of training depressed persons to down-regulate response of SN nodes to negative mater...

the efficacy of neurofeedback treatment on psychopathological symptoms in addicted male patients was assessed. participants were 20 opiate dependent patients who was seeking medication treatment. after completing the symptom chekclist-90-revised (derogatis, 1975), participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or a witness group. the experimental group received 30 sessions of neurofeedb...

BACKGROUND Alcohol Use Disorder is a highly prevalent mental disorder which puts a severe burden on individuals, families, and society. The treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder is challenging and novel and innovative treatment approaches are needed to expand treatment options. A promising neuroscience-based intervention method that allows targeting cortical as well as subcortical brain processes i...

considering the effects that anxiety can have on performance, the relationship between anxiety and performance has interested researchers for many years. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of neurofeedback alpha/theta intervention on the anxiety reduction and performance enhancement in young soccer players. to do so, 30 soccer players attending the national soccer league of iran we...
