Abstract
Recent progress in neuroimaging has paved the way for
modalities that allow elucidation not only of brain structure
but also of brain function. Among these developments
is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a noninvasive,
high-spatial-resolution method that records bloodoxygenation-level-dependent
signals in the brain to track
hemodynamic responses that indirectly measure brain
activity (Fovet, Jardri, and Linden 2015). Further technological
advancements in fMRI then allowed analysis and
display of functional information in real time, expanding
fMRI’s capabilities in clinical diagnosis and opening up its
potential for use as treatment via real-time fMRI neurofeedback
(rtfMRI-NF). In rtfMRI-NF, patients use representations
of real-time reported brain activity patterns to
facilitate learned self-regulation with the goal of changing
behavior, cognition, or brain function (Stoeckel et al. 2014).
This has been taken a step further with the introduction of
decoded neurofeedback (Shibata et al. 2011), which
applies a multivariate analysis to real-time fMRI feedback
(Esmail and Linden 2011), expanding its spatial specificity
and selection flexibility and allowing for an approach that
is not a priori in defining neural networks of interest
(Esmail and Linden 2011). Ultimately, real-time fMRI
decoded neurofeedback (dNF) could bring potential new
treatments for mental disorders.
