First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 29, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether a brain-training technique called real-time fMRI neurofeedback can help healthy adults reduce the return of learned fears. Participants will learn to control a brain connection linked to memory while inside an MRI scanner. The goal is to see if this training can weaken the spontaneous recovery of fear responses after extinction learning.
