Controllability of cognitive brain signals and the effects on the frontostriatal network: A 7T fMRI study.

Completed
Conditions
The research is fundamental in nature and only healthy subjects are studied. The knowledge that will be gained could eventually be used for medical interventions (e.g. new treatment methods for psychiatric disorders). Furthermore, the results are interesting for those who are developing brain-computer interfaces.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameter is the change in BOLD activation patterns of the<br /><br>frontostriatal system after training to self-regulate brain activity of the<br /><br>DLPFC (comparing the post and pre-training count-back network activation task). </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary study parameters are the feedback performance and brain<br /><br>activation patterns during the feedback task with distracters, relative to that<br /><br>without distracters. </p><br>
