Neurofeedback training for alcohol dependence versus treatment as usual: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2016)
Journal Article
Cox, W., Subramanian, L., Linden, D., Luehrs, M., McNamara, R., Playle, R., …Ihssen, N. (2016). Neurofeedback training for alcohol dependence versus treatment as usual: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. Trials, 17(1), Article 480. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-016-1607-7

Background Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) is used for neurofeedback training (NFT). Preliminary results suggest that it can help patients to control their symptoms. This study uses rtfMRI NFT for relapse prevention in alcoho...

Nonlinear associations between human values and neuroanatomy (2016)
Journal Article
Zacharopoulus, G., Hanel, P., Lancaster, T., Ihssen, N., Drakesmith, M., Foley, S., …Linden, D. (2017). Nonlinear associations between human values and neuroanatomy. Social Neuroscience, 12(6), 673-684. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470919.2016.1229215

Human values guide behavior and the smooth functioning of societies. Schwartz’s circumplex model of values predicts a sinusoidal waveform in relations between ratings of the importance of diverse human value types (e.g., achievement, benevolence) and...

A Hedonism Hub in the Human Brain (2016)
Journal Article
Zacharopoulos, G., Lancaster, T., Bracht, T., Ihssen, N., Maio, G., & Linden, D. (2016). A Hedonism Hub in the Human Brain. Cerebral Cortex, 26(10), 3921-3927. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhw197

Human values are abstract ideals that motivate behavior. The motivational nature of human values raises the possibility that they might be underpinned by brain structures that are particularly involved in motivated behavior and reward processing. We...

Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving (2016)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Sokunbi, M., Lawrence, A., Lawrence, N., & Linden, D. (2016). Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving. Brain Imaging and Behavior, 11(3), 915-924. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11682-016-9558-x

FMRI-based neurofeedback transforms functional brain activation in real-time into sensory stimuli that participants can use to self-regulate brain responses, which can aid the modification of mental states and behavior. Emerging evidence supports the... Read More about Neurofeedback of visual food cue reactivity: a potential avenue to alter incentive sensitization and craving.

Neural evidence of motivational conflict between social values (2016)
Journal Article
Leszkowicz, E., Linden, D., Maio, G., & Ihssen, N. (2016). Neural evidence of motivational conflict between social values. Social Neuroscience, 12(5), 494-505. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470919.2016.1183517

Motivational interdependence is an organizing principle in Schwartz’s circumplex model of social values, which has received abundant cross-cultural support. We used fMRI to test whether motivational relations between social values predict different b... Read More about Neural evidence of motivational conflict between social values.

Observing others stay or switch - How social prediction errors are integrated into reward reversal learning (2016)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Mussweiler, T., & Linden, D. (2016). Observing others stay or switch - How social prediction errors are integrated into reward reversal learning. Cognition, 153, 19-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2016.04.012

Reward properties of stimuli can undergo sudden changes, and the detection of these ‘reversals’ is often made difficult by the probabilistic nature of rewards/punishments. Here we tested whether and how humans use social information (someone else’s c...

fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases (2016)
Journal Article
Habes, I., Rushton, S., Johnston, S., Sokunbi, M., Barawi, K., Brosnan, M., …Linden, D. (2016). fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases. Neuropsychologia, 85, 208-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2016.03.031

The self-regulation of brain activation via neurofeedback training offers a method to study the relationship between brain areas and perception in a more direct manner than the conventional mapping of brain responses to different types of stimuli. Th... Read More about fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases.
