      Matziorinis, Anna Maria; Flo, Birthe Kristin; Skouras, Stavros; Dahle, K.; Henriksen, Anne; Hausmann, Frøydis; Sudmann, Tobba Therkildsen; Gold, Christian; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background The Alzheimer’s and Music Therapy (ALMUTH) study is the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) design with 12 months of active non-pharmacological therapy (NPT) implementing music therapy (MT) and physical ...

    • Brain‑correlates of processing local dependencies within a statistical learning paradigm 

      Tsogli, Vera; Skouras, Stavros; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Statistical learning refers to the implicit mechanism of extracting regularities in our environment. Numerous studies have investigated the neural basis of statistical learning. However, how the brain responds to violations ...

      Neurofeedback training has been shown to influence behavior in healthy participants as well as to alleviate clinical symptoms in neurological, psychosomatic, and psychiatric patient populations. However, many real-time ...

    • The neurophysiological correlates of religious chanting 

      Gao, Junling; Leung, Hang Kin; Wu, Bonnie Wai Yan; Skouras, Stavros; Sik, Hin Hung (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-12)
      Despite extensive research on various types of meditation, research on the neural correlates of religious chanting is in a nascent stage. Using multi-modal electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods, we illustrate that ...

    • Predictors of real-time fMRI neurofeedback performance and improvement – A machine learning mega-analysis 

      Haugg, Amelie; Renz, Fabian M.; Nicholson, Andrew A; Lor, Cindy; Götzendorfer, Sebastian J.; Sladky, Ronald; Skouras, Stavros; McDonald, Amalia; Craddock, Cameron; Hellrung, Lydia; Kirschner, Matthias; Herdener, Marcus; Koush, Yury; Papoutsi, Marina; Keynan, Jackob N.; Hendler, Talma; Cohen Kadosh, Kathrin; Zich, Catharina; Kohl, Simon H; Hallschmid, Manfred; MacInnes, Jeff; Adcock, R. Alison; Dickerson, Kathryn; Chen, Nan-Kuei; Young, Kymberly; Bodurka, Jerzy; Marxen, Michael; Yao, Shuxia; Becker, Benjamin; Auer, Tibor; Schweizer, Renate; Pamplona, Gustavo; Lanius, Ruth A.; Emmert, Kirsten; Haller, Sven; Van De Ville, Dimitri; Kim, Dong-Youl; Lee, Jong-Hwan; Marins, Theo; Megumi, Fukuda; Sorger, Bettina; Kamp, Tabea; Liew, Sook-Lei; Veit, Ralf; Spetter, Maartje; Weiskopf, Nikolaus; Scharnowski, Frank; Steyrl, David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Real-time fMRI neurofeedback is an increasingly popular neuroimaging technique that allows an individual to gain control over his/her own brain signals, which can lead to improvements in behavior in healthy participants ...

    • Progressive modulation of resting‑state brain activity during neurofeedback of positive‑social emotion regulation networks 

      Krylova, Marina; Skouras, Stavros; Razi, Adeel; Nicholson, Andrew A; Karner, Alexander; Steyrl, David; Boukrina, Olga; Rees, Geraint; Scharnowski, Frank; Koush, Yury (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Neurofeedback allows for the self-regulation of brain circuits implicated in specific maladaptive behaviors, leading to persistent changes in brain activity and connectivity. Positive-social emotion regulation neurofeedback ...

    • Repetitive Religious Chanting Invokes Positive Emotional Schema to Counterbalance Fear: A Multi-Modal Functional and Structural MRI Study 

      Gao, Junling; Skouras, Stavros; Leung, Hang Kin; Wu, Bonnie Wai Yan; Wu, Huijun; Chang, Chunqi; Sik, Hin Hung (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Introduction: During hard times, religious chanting/praying is widely practiced to cope with negative or stressful emotions. While the underlying neural mechanism has not been investigated to a sufficient extent. A previous ...

    • Sensorimotor synchronization to music reduces pain 

      Werner, Lucy Madeleine; Skouras, Stavros; Bechtold, Laura; Pallesen, Ståle; Koelsch, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-28)
      Pain-reducing effects of music listening are well-established, but the effects are small and their clinical relevance questionable. Recent theoretical advances, however, have proposed that synchronizing to music, such as ...
