The amygdala of the human brain is placed somewhat strategically at dorsomedial part (above and inside) of temporal lobe, anteriorly (in front) of the hippocampus and close to the tail of the caudate nucleus.
Training the brain to treat itself is a promising therapy for traumatic stress. The training uses an auditory or visual signal that corresponds to the activity of a particular brain region, called neurofeedback, which can guide people to regulate their own brain activity. However, treating stress-related disorders requires accessing the amygdala that is difficult to reach with typical neurofeedback methods. This activity has only been measured using fMRI, which is costly and poorly accessible.
“The major advancement of this new tool is the ability to use a low-cost and accessible imag...
