Tobacco constitutes a global emergency with totally preventable millions of deaths per year and smoking-related illnesses. Public service announcements (PSAs) are the main tool against smoking by now their efficacy is still assessed through questionnaires metrics, only months after circulation. The present study focused on young population, because at higher risk developing tobacco addiction, investigating reaction to vision Effective, Ineffective Awarded antismoking PSAs through: electroencephalography (EEG), autonomic activity variation (Galvanic skin response-GSR- Heart Rate-HR-) Eye-Tracking (ET). employed indices were: EEG frontal alpha band asymmetry theta; Emotional Index (EI), deriving from GSR HR signals matching; ET Visual Attention (VA) index, based ratio between total time spent fixating an area interest (AOI) its area. Smokers expressed values in comparison non-smokers. Concerning theta, reported highest both Effective PSAs. EI results highlighted that lowest were Heavy (HS), obtained values. Finally, concerning PSAs, regression analysis correlation number cigarettes smoked participants (independent variable) asymmetry, theta suggested for focus texts, while visual elements.

Abstract Background For many years, biofeedback and neurofeedback have been implemented in the treatment of depression. However, effectiveness these techniques on depressive symptomatology is still controversial. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis studies extracted from PubMed, Scopus, Web Science Embase. Methods Two different strings were considered for each two objectives study: A first group comprising patients with major disorder (MDD) second including targeting reduction other mental or medical conditions. Results In MDD, within-group analyses yielded an effect size Hedges' g = 0.717, while between-group analysis 1.050. Moderator indicate that efficacy only significant when accounting experimental design, favor randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparison to non RCTs, whereas type neurofeedback, trial year publication, number sessions, age, sex quality study did not influence efficacy. studies, small but between groups was found (Hedges' 0.303) bio- against control groups. revealed moderated by any sociodemographic clinical variables. Conclusions Heart rate variability (HRV) are associated self-reported Despite fact field has large room improvement terms research quality, results presented this suggests both modalities may become relevant complementary strategies MDD coming years.

A brain–computer interface (BCI) enables a user to communicate directly with computer using only the central nervous system. An affective BCI (aBCI) monitors and/or regulates emotional state of brain, which could facilitate human cognition, communication, decision-making, and health. The last decade has witnessed rapid progress in aBCI research applications, but there does not exist comprehensive up-to-date tutorial on aBCIs. This fills gap. It introduces first basic concepts BCIs then, detail, individual components closed-loop system, including signal acquisition, processing, feature extraction, emotion recognition, brain stimulation. Next, it describes three representative applications aBCIs, i.e., cognitive workload fatigue estimation, depression diagnosis treatment. Several challenges opportunities labeling, diversity size datasets, algorithm comparison, negative transfer privacy protection security are also explained.

Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a common mental disorder that affects individuals' behavior, mood, and physical health, its prevalence has increased during the lockdowns implemented to curb COVID-19 pandemic. There an urgent need update treatment recommendations for disorders such crises. Conventional interventions treat depression include long-term pharmacotherapy cognitive behavioral therapy. Electroencephalogram-neurofeedback (EEG-NF) training been suggested as non-invasive option with minimal side effects. In this systematic review, we summarize recent literature on EEG-NF treating depression. The 12 studies included in our final sample reported despite several issues related practices, patients showed significant cognitive, clinical, neural improvements following training. Given low cost risk of effects due nature, suggest worth exploring augmented tool who already receive standard medications but remain symptomatic, may be effective intervention can utilized supplementary We conclude by providing some suggestions experimental designs standards improve current practices

Abstract The limited efficacy of available antidepressant therapies may be due to how they affect the underlying brain network. purpose this study was develop a melancholic MDD biomarker identify critically important functional connections (FCs), and explore their association treatments. Resting state fMRI data 130 individuals (65 major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, 65 healthy controls) were included build classifier, 10 FCs selected by our sparse machine learning algorithm. This generalized drug-free independent cohort MDD, did not generalize other subtypes or psychiatric disorders. Moreover, we found that antidepressants had heterogeneous effect on identified 25 MDDs. In particular, it impact FC between left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)/inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) posterior cingulate (PCC)/precuneus, ranked as second ‘most important’ based weights, whilst eight normalized. Given DLPFC has been proposed an explicit target depression treatments, suggest might compensated combining with targeted treatment optimized approach in future.

Music has the capacity to elicit strong positive feelings in humans by activating brain's reward system. Because group emotional dynamics is a central concern of social neurosciences, study emotion natural/ecological conditions gaining interest. This aimed show that high-density EEG (HD-EEG) able reveal patterns cerebral activities previously identified fMRI or PET scans when subject experiences pleasurable musical chills. We used HD-EEG record participants (11 female, 7 male) while listening their favorite chill-inducing excerpts; they reported subjective state from low pleasure up results showed an increase theta activity prefrontal cortex arousal and ratings increased, which are associated with orbitofrontal activation localized using source localization algorithms. In addition, we two specific chills: decreased right region, could reflect supplementary motor area during chills may be related rhythmic anticipation processing, temporal appreciation superior gyrus activity. The alpha frontal/prefrontal asymmetry did not felt pleasure, but increased frontal beta ratio (measure arousal) corresponded ratings. These suggest reliable method promising tool for investigation through processing.
