Preliminary findings on long-term effects of fMRI neurofeedback training on functional networks involved in sustained attention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Neurofeedback based on functional magnetic resonance imaging allows for learning voluntary control over one's own brain activity, aiming to enhance cognition and clinical symptoms. We previously reported improved sustained attention temporarily by training healthy participants to up-regulate the differential activity of the sustained attention network minus the default mode network (DMN). However, the long-term brain and behavioral effects of this training have not yet been studied. In general, despite their relevance, long-term learning effects of neurofeedback training remain under-explored.

Methods

Here, we complement our previously reported results by evaluating the neurofeedback training effects on functional networks involved in sustained attention and by
