This trial uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS (a safe, non-invasive headband) to give you real-time feedback on your brain activity. The goal is to help you learn to improve your emotion regulation. It may be helpful if you have no major mental health conditions and want to try a new way to manage emotions.
This study tests if a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce the return of fear after it has faded. It may help people who spontaneously recall a learned threat, and uses MRI to monitor brain activity.
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help people with certain anxiety disorders learn to change how they think about upsetting situations. Participants will do thinking exercises while an MRI machine measures their brain activity, which helps them see if they are using the right coping strategies.
This trial tests two types of brain training techniques to see how they affect your awareness of body signals. It may help you learn to control a specific brain area through mental exercises.
This study uses real-time brain scans (fMRI) to see how people's thinking skills affect their ability to learn to control their own brain activity. It is for healthy individuals who want to help researchers understand brain training.
This study tests whether a special MRI technique can help people learn to control brain areas linked to motivation. It may lead to better treatments for motivational problems.
