Lessons learned from an fMRI-guided rTMS study on performance in a numerical Stroop task. by Lysianne Beynel, Hannah Gura, Zeynab Rezaee, Ekaete C Ekpo, Zhi-De Deng, Janet O Joseph, Paul Taylor, Bruce Luber, Sarah H Lisanby

“…Given its reliability, the numerical Stroop task was used to compare the effects of different TMS targeting approaches by Sack and colleagues (Sack AT 2009), who elegantly demonstrated the superiority of individualized fMRI targeting. We performed the present study to test whether fMRI-guided rTMS effects on numerical Stroop task performance could still be observed while using more advanced techniques that have emerged in the last decade (e.g., electrical sham, robotic coil holder system, etc.). …”

Personality Differences of Brain Networks in Placebo Analgesia and Nocebo Hyperalgesia: A Psychophysiological Interaction (PPI) Approach in fMRI by Yu Shi, Shimin Huang, Hongrui Zhan, Yaping Wang, Yanyan Zeng, Guiyuan Cai, Jianming Yang, Wen Wu

“…We designed this study to explore the personality differences of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals in placebo response and nocebo response by using psychophysiological interaction (PPI) analysis. 30 healthy subjects underwent conditioning induction training to establish expectations of placebo effect and nocebo effect, and then, all subjects completed the following experimental procedures: (1) baseline scanning, (2) acute pain model establishment, (3) pain status scanning, and (4) pseudorandom scanning of block design of placebo response or nocebo response. …”
