Psychosocial stress and stress-related disorders represent an increasing emotional and financial burden in industrialized countries. This situation calls for adequate strategies for the prevention and treatment of stress-related disorders. Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (RT-fMRI-NF) allows establishing volitional control over brain activity. While results from first studies on RT-fMRI-NF are highly promising, the method has not yet been tested to modify stress-related processes, including central control of peripheral release of stress-related hormones. The overall goal of the study is to establish an RT-fMRI-NF protocol aiming at modulating neural, endocrine, and subjective reactivity to psychosocial stress.
