Brain training to improve emotion regulation using fNIRS feedback
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 trial uses real-time brain imaging (MRI) to train a part of your brain linked to imagining social support. It is for healthy volunteers who want to see if they can learn to control their brain activity.
This study uses a brain training technique called neurofeedback to help people let go of unwanted emotional memories. It may help those who struggle with intrusive thoughts or negative memories.
This trial tests whether using real-time brain scan feedback (fMRI neurofeedback) can help reduce depressive symptoms. You may be eligible if you have depression that is still active despite being on antidepressant medicine.
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
This trial tests a type of brain training called amygdala neurofeedback to reduce depression symptoms. It may help by teaching your brain patterns to become less “stuck” in depression-related activity.
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.
