Our application entitled “Does neurofeedback promote an optimal reorganization of the brain connectivity?” to the Ramsay fund has been approved. This will bring Mexican student, Mario de los Santos, for a 2 months research secondment at the University of Birmingham Computational Neuroimaging Lab to work on this research.
This research conducts simulations oriented to give evidence that brain changes occur as a consequence of neurofeedback, but critically, that we can induce a specific target reorganization in the form of a desired connectivity pattern. If successful, this will provide fundamental evidence of the utility of neurofeedback training, and importantly about the capacity to modulate brain activity in a controlled fashion. This has substantial implications and consequences for fields such as neurorehabilitation, neuroergonomics, neuromarketing, neurology, and neuropsychology among others.
