Predictors for Successful Neurofeedback Training

Healthy

The primary objective of this study is to identify predictors of neurofeedback training success.

In the last decades, neurofeedback has been established as a promising scientific tool. Learning voluntary control over their own brain activity allows for establishing causal links between brain activity and mental functions. However, patients participants differ in their ability to learn control over their own brain activity with neurofeedback. It is thus crucial to understand why some participants are more successful in regulating their own brain activity than others. The objective of the present study is thus to identify predictors for successful learning self-regulation with real-time fMRI neurofeedback. To achieve this goal, we will evaluate the introspection ability of healthy participants using standardized psychological questionnaires and tasks. These scores will then be correlated with how well they learned self-regulation skills using established real-time fMRI neurofeedback protocols.
