Preregistration: Impact of Mindfulness-based Real-time fMRI Neurofeedback on Self-Referential Processing in Depressed Adolescents: A Dosing Study [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability among adolescents. Perseverative negative self-referential thoughts are a promising treatment target. Mindfulness-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback (mbNF), which guides mindfulness practice with feedback to train the downregulation of the default mode network (DMN), is an intervention targeting such negative self-referential thoughts. This study builds on a registered NIMH-supported trial testing the optimal dosing of mbNF on downregulating DMN activation among depressed adolescents. Adolescents (N=90), ages 13-18-years-old, with major depressive disorder will be randomized to receive either a 15- or 30-minute mbNF session. Before and after mbNF, participants will complete a self-referential encoding fMRI task, wherein they categorize whether trait adjectives describe themselves or a friend. It is hypothesized that a 30-minute versus 15-minute mbNF dose will relate to: (1) larger decreases in behavioral negative self-referential biases and (2) larger decreases in DMN activation during self-referential processing.
