Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the neural and cognitive processes involved in removing emotional information from working memory, using neuroimaging and machine learning to improve understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Description
The project aims to understand how emotional thoughts can be removed from one's mind using brain imaging and machine learning techniques. It examines the influence of emotional valence on removal effectiveness, individual differences in thought control, and training methods using real-time feedback. The research has implications for psychiatric disorders characterized by intrusive and maladaptive thoughts.
