This NIH-funded research project investigates neural and cognitive mechanisms for removing emotional information from working memory, aiming to develop neural markers for thought suppression and emotional regulation with applications in mental health treatment.
Description
The project aims to understand how emotional thoughts can be removed from the mind, focusing on neural mechanisms involved in thought suppression and emotional regulation. It will examine the influence of emotional valence on removal effectiveness, individual differences related to depression and anxiety, and train individuals to improve thought removal using real-time neurofeedback.
