Neurofeedback Training of Anterior Insula Activity Based on Unidimensional vs. Multidimensional Interoceptive Regulation Strategies

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare the neural and behavioral effects of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback training using two different interoceptive strategies: a unidimensional heartbeat detection strategy and a multidimensional interoception strategy. Specifically, the study compares the efficacy of these two regulation strategies in regulating activity of the anterior insula, a key brain region involved in interoceptive and emotional processing.
