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.

Associations between polygenic risk for schizophrenia and brain function during probabilistic learning in healthy individuals (2015)
Journal Article
Lancaster, T., Ihssen, N., Brindley, L., Tansey, K., Mantripragada, K., O'Donovan, M., …Linden, D. (2016). Associations between polygenic risk for schizophrenia and brain function during probabilistic learning in healthy individuals. Human Brain Mapping, 37(2), 491-500. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23044

A substantial proportion of schizophrenia liability can be explained by additive genetic factors. Risk profile scores (RPS) directly index risk using a summated total of common risk variants weighted by their effect. Previous studies suggest that sch...

Real-time fMRI brain-computer interface: development of a "motivational feedback" subsystem for the regulation of visual cue reactivity (2014)
Journal Article
Sokunbi, M., Linden, D., Habes, I., Johnston, S., & Ihssen, N. (2014). Real-time fMRI brain-computer interface: development of a "motivational feedback" subsystem for the regulation of visual cue reactivity. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 8, Article 392. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbeh.2014.00392

Here we present a novel neurofeedback subsystem for the presentation of motivationally relevant visual feedback during the self-regulation of functional brain activation. Our “motivational neurofeedback” approach uses functional magnetic resonance im...

Neural mechanisms underlying visual short-term memory gain for temporally distinct objects (2014)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Linden, D., Miller, C., & Shapiro, K. (2015). Neural mechanisms underlying visual short-term memory gain for temporally distinct objects. Cerebral Cortex, 25(8), 2149-2159. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhu021

Recent research has shown that visual short-term memory (VSTM) can substantially be improved when the to-be-remembered objects are split in 2 half-arrays (i.e., sequenced) or the entire array is shown twice (i.e., repeated), rather than presented sim...
