This study examines dose-dependent functional connectivity changes in healthy adults after low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) targeting deep white matter tracts.

This study demonstrates that real-time fMRI-guided tACS can optimize brain stimulation to modulate frontoparietal connectivity and improve working memory accuracy.

The paper identifies neuroticism-related resting-state functional connectivity patterns using UK Biobank data, revealing genetically and psychometrically defined clusters.

This study finds that aging increases the distinctiveness of rumination and worry brain states while reducing anxiety responses, potentially improving emotional well-being.

This study shows that high-precision neurofeedback-guided meditation training improves disengagement from mental activity and enhances emotional well-being in novice meditators.

This study uses predictive modeling to show that the interaction between brain regulation and feedback response predicts neurofeedback outcomes for repetitive negative thinking in depression.

The paper investigates whether resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) or induced negative-thinking state functional connectivity (NTFC) better predicts repetitive negative thinking (RNT) traits in depression, finding that NTFC is more predictive.

This study evaluates the impact of real-time fMRI denoising on brain activity and functional connectivity estimation, finding that certain denoising steps significantly reduce noise.

This paper describes a closed-loop tES-fMRI protocol for brain modulation, demonstrating feasibility, safety, and the ability to distinguish physiological changes from artifacts.

This paper predicts sex from resting-state fMRI using machine learning across multiple datasets, achieving high accuracy with low-frequency BOLD signal features.

This study examines the relationship between EEG microstate dynamics and fMRI signals, finding that activity regressors are mostly anticorrelated with fMRI in specific brain networks.

The paper identifies a functional connectivity locus associated with rumination symptoms and optimizes a neurofeedback signal for real-time fMRI intervention.
