Kiefer F. DFG - Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft : CRC TRR 265: Project A03: Stress-related predictor profiles for craving and relapse in human addiction. 07/2019-06/2023.
This project will investigate stress- and alcohol cue-related physiological markers in a lab experiment to assess interactions between acute psychological vs. physical stress exposure and alcohol cue-exposure regarding their effects on (1) alcohol craving and related markers, (2) their predictive capacity for future alcohol intake in a real-life setting, and (3) the identification of their neural correlates in brain circuits of motivational, cognitive, and affective processing. Our long-term aim is the definition of a setup of mobile sensors and their integration in a mobile infrastructure that allows the prediction of stress related alcohol intake in an ambulatory setting.
