U.S., Oct. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07221864) titled 'Decoding Emotional Dynamics in Bipolar Disorder' on Oct. 23.
Brief Summary: The goal of this neuroimaging study is to investigate how emotional states fluctuate in people with bipolar disorder (BD) compared to healthy controls, and to understand the neural mechanisms driving mood instability. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can emotional states be decoded from fMRI brain activity using machine learning?
* Do individuals with BD show more unstable emotional state trajectories (e.g., high metastability, low fractal scaling) than healthy controls?
* Does amplifying positive emotions stabilize brain and emotional dynamics...
