A novel music-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback interface modulates interhemispheric connectivity and enhances mood

This paper develops a music-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback interface that modulates interhemispheric connectivity and improves mood in healthy adults.

A Neurofeedback therapy of facial expression recognition in Autism shifts connectivity to higher levels within the third visual pathway in relation to clinical improvements

This paper shows that neurofeedback therapy for autism improves facial expression recognition by increasing connectivity in higher-level visual regions and reducing connectivity in lower-level regions, correlating with clinical improvements.

Neural correlates of emotional responses to self-selected music: evidence from multivariate pattern analysis

The paper uses multivariate pattern analysis to decode emotion categories from brain activity during self-selected music listening, revealing consistent neural correlates across auditory, motor, and interoceptive regions.

Development and assessment of a new multichannel electrocutaneous device for non-invasive somatosensory stimulation for magnetic resonance applications

This paper develops and tests a multichannel electrocutaneous device for non-invasive somatosensory stimulation during fMRI, confirming its safety and ability to elicit expected brain activity.

Decoding Musical Valence And Arousal: Exploring The Neural Correlates Of Music Evoked Emotions And The Role Of Expressivity Features

The paper uses fMRI to decode music-evoked valence and arousal by analyzing neural correlates and musical features, finding expressive features modulate reward and emotion networks.

A human cortical adaptive mutual inhibition circuit underlying competition for perceptual decision and repetition suppression reversal

The paper uses fMRI-based adaptation to show reciprocal inhibition in hMT+/V5 influences perceptual decision and reverses repetition suppression.

The boundaries of State-Space Granger Causality Analysis applied to BOLD simulated data: a comparative modelling and simulation approach

This paper evaluates State-Space Granger Causality with Time Reversed Testing on simulated BOLD data, finding it outperforms classical methods in detecting causal relationships.
