Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Aim of the project is to study interoceptive processing and emotion regulation in patients with epileptic and non-epileptic seizures. We measure differences in neuronal activation (BOLD, blood oxygenation level dependent) related to interoceptive processing and emotion regulation, collected at one point in time.—

Secondary
