Real-time fMRI (rt-fMRI) neurofeedback is an exciting imaging tool with the potential to help individuals actively alter brain function. Activity derived from targeted brain areas, or networks, is fed back to the participant in real-time via visual display; and allows the participant to learn strategies to up- and/or down-regulate the target on demand. This talk will focus on the basics of rt-fMRI, recent analyses of default mode network regulation, and future research directions in Dr. Cohen’s lab.
