Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The region of interest fMRI data will be analysed with the appropriate<br /><br>parametric tests for activation and general linear model analysis will be<br /><br>performed as implemented in the Brainvoyager software. This will assess<br /><br>neurofeedback performance and changes in brain activation over time.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Correlational analysis will be performed on demographic and clinical data (MoCA<br /><br>score) to assess association with neurofeedback performance.</p><br>
