Real Time fMRI and Quitting Smoking

This study will examine how real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) feedback can be used to modulate brain activation in the context of smoking cues in order to resist craving. Participants will complete a total of three fMRI scanning sessions with a cue suppression task with or without neurofeedback training (NFT). Participants will be randomized to an active group (active NFT) or a control group (no NFT) during the scanning sessions. At the end of the third session, all participants will complete a validated smoking lapse laboratory paradigm to evaluate effects of NFT on smoking behavior.
