Interventions
Subjects will receive neurofeedback training by visual stimulation using a software program on a PC or tablet (monitor) with reference to EEG data acquired with a portable electroencephalograph (EEG) to provide feedback on the state of the DLPFC in the brain. The DLPFC status of the subject's brain is then fed back to the subject to continue stimulating the subject's reward system. Before and after these neurofeedback training sessions, fMRI imaging will be performed to confirm changes in brain activity.
