Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of augmenting cognitive-behavioral therapy with real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) training to increase the amygdala's response to positive autobiographical memories.

Primary Outcome

The Beck Depression Inventory is a self-report questionnaire consisting of 21 questions assessing depressive symptoms. Scores can range from 0-63 with higher scores indicating more severe depression.

Interventions

  • DEVICE real-time fMRI neurofeedback: Amygdala
  • DEVICE real-time fMRI neurofeedback: HIPS
