Towards Closed-loop Control of Affective Processes in the Brain

Presented by Vincent Taschereau-Dumouchel, Assistant Research Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Addictology, Universite de Montreal, Canada

Abstract: One of the greatest challenges of mental health research is to understand how the brain generates negative affective experiences. Many brain imaging studies have identified fine-grained patterns of brain activity associated with such experiences but these findings are generally correlational in nature. As a result, we still have a limited understanding of the precise patterns of brain activity directly responsible for generating negative subjective experiences. In this presentation, we will discuss a series of decoded neurofeedback studies aimed directly at studying this question in double-blind placebo controlled settings. In these studies, participants are trained to modulate specific patterns of brain activity using machine learning and closed-loop functional magnetic resonance imaging. We will discuss results indicating a dissociation between the subjective report of fear and measures of amygdala and skin conductance reactivity. These findings are in contradiction with popular views suggesting that amygdala and skin conductance reactivity are good proxies of the subjective experience of fear. We will discuss these results in light of the higher-order theory of emotional consciousness and present a path forward that could help us identify the brain processes directly involved in generating pathological affective experiences.
