With neurofeedback, a process that uses data gathered from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to create and strengthen new neuropathways, Brown University’s Watanabe has been successful in encouraging test subjects to subconsciously associate striped patterns with the colour red. He believes that this technique could eventually be developed into a treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders including depression and autism.
