Abstract

âº Subjects used real-time fMRI neurofeedback to try and modulate their M1 activation. âº Subjects easily modulated M1 activation using a finger tapping motor task. âº Subjects were unable to increase M1 during motor imagery even with neurofeedback. âº Future neurofeedback studies may benefit from using motor regions other than M1.
