Defining the Limits: Upper Bound of Non-Neurobiological Treatment Efficacy through Cognitive-Neural Network Alignment
Bita Shariatpanahi, Hamidreza Jamalabadi · Bernstein Conference 2024
Recent meta-analyses indicate that non-neurobiological treatments for mental disorders, such as psychotherapy, demonstrate variable success rates ranging from 30% to 60% [Munder et al., 2019] . However, there is no consensus on the theoretical upper limit of these treatments [Cuijpers et al., 2024]. This study aims to estimate this upper bound by examining the alignment between network control properties of emotional and whole-brain fMRI responses to visual emotional stimuli. We hypothesize that the upper limit of non-neurobiological treatments (i.e., treatments that do not monitor brain resp
