A novel music-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback interface modulates interhemispheric connectivity and enhances mood (opens in new tab)

IntroductionMusic is a universal language that transcends cultures and is deeply rooted in human evolutionary history. Its creation and appreciation recruit the limbic and reward systems, leading to the evocation of emotions ranging from happiness and sadness to tenderness and grief. Here, we investigate the potential of music as an interventional tool in a novel neurofeedback connectivity-based experiment. MethodsThis study proposes a musical interface for real-time functional magnetic reson...
