Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging based brain-computer interfacing (fMRI neurofeedback) has shown encouraging outcomes in the treatment of psychiatric and behavioural disorders. However, its use in the treatment of eating disorders is very limited. Here, we give a brief overview of how to design and implement fMRI neurofeedback intervention for the treatment of eating disorders, considering the basic and essential components. We also attempt to develop potential adaptations of fMRI neurofeedback intervention for the treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001068 Feeding and Eating Disorders A group of disorders characterized by physiological and psychological disturbances in appetite or food intake. Appetite Disorders,Eating Disorders,Eating and Feeding Disorders,Feeding Disorders,Appetite Disorder,Disorder, Eating,Disorder, Feeding,Disorders, Eating,Disorders, Feeding,Eating Disorder,Feeding Disorder
D058765 Neurofeedback A technique to self-regulate brain activities provided as a feedback in order to better control or enhance one's own performance, control or function. This is done by trying to bring brain activities into a range associated with a desired brain function or status. Alpha Biofeedback,Alpha Feedback,Brainwave Biofeedback,Brainwave Feedback,EEG Feedback,Electroencephalography Biofeedback,Electromyography Feedback,Alpha Biofeedbacks,Alpha Feedbacks,Biofeedback, Alpha,Biofeedback, Brainwave,Biofeedback, Electroencephalography,Biofeedbacks, Alpha,Biofeedbacks, Brainwave,Biofeedbacks, Electroencephalography,Brainwave Biofeedbacks,Brainwave Feedbacks,EEG Feedbacks,Electroencephalography Biofeedbacks,Feedback, Alpha,Feedback, Brainwave,Feedback, EEG,Feedbacks, Alpha,Feedbacks, Brainwave,Feedbacks, EEG,Neurofeedbacks
D062207 Brain-Computer Interfaces Instrumentation consisting of hardware and software that communicates with the BRAIN. The hardware component of the interface records brain signals, while the software component analyzes the signals and converts them into a command that controls a device or sends a feedback signal to the brain. Brain Machine Interface,Brain-Computer Interface,Brain-Machine Interfaces,Brain Computer Interface,Brain Computer Interfaces,Brain Machine Interfaces,Brain-Machine Interface,Interface, Brain Machine,Interface, Brain-Computer,Interface, Brain-Machine,Interfaces, Brain Machine,Interfaces, Brain-Computer,Interfaces, Brain-Machine,Machine Interface, Brain,Machine Interfaces, Brain
