Kiefer F, Kirsch P. DFG - Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft : CRC TRR 265: Project C04: Modification of cue reactivity by neurofeedback in human addiction. 07/2019-06/2023.

This project will investigate the hypothesis that combining real time fMRI neurofeedback (fMRI-NF) with a mindfulness-based intervention will increase the ability of alcohol dependent patients to deliberately reduce ventral striatal cue reactivity to alcohol. To this end we study the efficiency of fMRI-NF in patients receiving mindfulness-based training vs. patients receiving treatment as usual. We expect that the combination of mindfulness-based training and neurofeedback will boost the ability to regain control over habitual responses to alcohol-associated stimuli.
