Participants are asked to memorize emotional and neutral words for a subsequent recognition memory task while being monitored in the MRI scanner. During the recognition task, participants also provide ratings as to recollective experience. Previous work has indicated that this procedure is highly sensitive to detection of clinically significant memory problems. As well as being [...]

Despite the enormous complexity of the human mind, fMRI techniques are able to partially observe the state of a brain in action. In this paper we describe an experimental setup for real-time fMRI in a bio-feedback loop. One of the main challenges in the project is to reach a detection speed, accuracy and spatial resolution [...]
