Optimisation of Functional MRI-based Neurofeedback for Alcohol Use Disorders
November 10, 2015 updated by: David Linden, Cardiff University
Real-time fMRI Neurofeedback as a Treatment Tool for Alcohol Dependence - Protocol Optimisation Phase
Participants will undergo a single session of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based neurofeedback (approximately 1 hour).
The investigators will assess their ability to regulate motivational networks of the brain during the exposure to alcohol cues and evaluate immediate effects on craving and cognitive bias for alcohol by administering a questionnaire and a Stroop task before and after the session.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Neurofeedback success (brain activation difference during neurofeedback and baseline blocks)
Time Frame: 1 day
|
This measure will be based on the analysis of participants' fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) data, reflecting brain activation, during exposure to alcohol cues.
Neurofeedback success will be defined as significant difference between activation levels (expressed as beta weights of a linear regression model) during the regulation periods compared to baseline.
The significance will be determined by a t-test.
