We have performed emotion regulation training in
veterans with combat-related PTSD using real-time fMRI
neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) with simultaneous EEG. Six
PTSD patients learned to upregulate their left amygdala
activity using rtfMRI-nf during a positive emotion
induction task based on retrieval of happy
autobiographical memories. We observed task-dependent
variations in frontal EEG asymmetry (FEA) in the upper
alpha band that correlated with PTSD severity (CAPS).
Individual changes in CAPS ratings significantly
correlated with changes in FEA variations. The results
suggest that variations in FEA during rtfMRI-nf training
may provide a sensitive measure of PTSD severity and
individual response to treatment.
