Abstract Hyperactivation of amygdala is a neural marker for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and improvement in control over activity has been associated with treatment success PTSD. In this randomized, double-blind clinical trial we evaluated the efficacy real-time fMRI neurofeedback intervention designed to train following trauma recall. Twenty-five patients PTSD completed three sessions training which they attempted downregulate feedback signal after exposure personalized scripts....
Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with changes in fear learning and decision-making, suggesting involvement of the brain’s valuation system. Here we investigate neural mechanisms subjective rewards punishments combat veterans. In a functional MRI study, male veterans wide range posttrauma symptoms ( N = 48, Clinician Administered PTSD Scale, CAPS-IV) made series choices between sure uncertain monetary gains losses. Activity ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)...
Smartbands can be used to detect cigarette smoking and deliver real time interventions. Brief mindfulness interventions have been found reduce smoking. This single arm feasibility trial a smartband brief exercises. Daily smokers who were motivated their wore for 60 days. For 21 days, the monitored, detected notified user of in time. After 'mindful smoking' exercise was triggered by 28 'RAIN' (recognize, allow, investigate, nonidentify) delivered predicted Participants received exercises text...
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in United States. cessation interventions delivered by smartphone apps are a promising tool for helping smokers quit. However, currently available smoking have not exploited their unique potential advantages to aid quitting. Notably, few no use wearable technologies, most require users self-report smoking, and deliver treatment automatically contingent upon smoking. This pilot trial tests feasibility using smartband monitor detect brief...
Sitting in a Huple, patented hemisphere-like tool, permanently stimulates the vestibular system, thus improving balancing ability of children with movement disorders. The Gézengúz Foundation for Children Birth Injuries has been successfully applying this tool therapy. By attaching x-Inertial Measurement Unit, wireless three-dimensional orientation sensor, to it can serve as an input peripheral simple PC games. are motivated; they willingly perform balance training well participate game-like...
Abstract Military personnel engaged in combat are vulnerable to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), following traumatic experiences the battlefield. Prior research has mostly employed fear-related paradigms unravel neural underpinnings of fear dysregulation individuals with PTSD. The ability acquire and update responses depends critically on individual’s cope uncertainty, yet role individual uncertainty attitudes development trauma-related psychopathology hardly been examined. Here, we...
