Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) may be helpful to target brain regions associated with OCD symptoms and other mind-brain processes that are found to be weakened in OCD patients. Though this topic of research is not yet fully established, it suggests the potential use of rtfMRI to train the self-regulation of brain regions and mental processes associated with OCD.

• RtfMRI may be helpful to target brain regions associated with OCD symptoms and other mind-brain processes that are impaired in OCD patients. Findings on an rtfMRI may help with:^[1]

• Self-regulatory neuromodulation (SRN), which outlines various techniques that target modulating brain activity through individual monitoring of real-time signals of brain activity.^[2]
• Allowing individuals to regulate brain regions associated with cognitive and emotional processes that are weakened in OCD.^[3]
• Decreasing contamination anxiety symptoms OCD patients.^[4]
