About this Research Topic
The field of self-regulation and neuroplasticity has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance mental well-being and regulate nervous system functions. Traditional reliance on practitioners and pharmaceuticals for alleviating physical and emotional distress has prompted a search for alternative approaches that mitigate the risks of dependency and addiction. Recent studies have highlighted the promise of interventions such as neurofeedback, neuromodulation, virtual reality, mental imagery, and music-based approaches in modulating neural and cognitive processes. These interventions have shown efficacy in fostering resilience and adaptive responses to various stressors. However, there remains a need for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms, efficacy, and potential applications of these interventions to promote sustainable self-regulation and neuroplasticity.
This research topic aims to explore advanced interventions that facilitate self-regulation and foster neuroplasticity, with the ultimate goal of promoting mental well-being and reducing reliance on external aids. By investigating interventions that mediate functional connectivity changes between brain networks, this research seeks to provide sustainable methods for independent self-regulation. Specific questions to be addressed include the efficacy of these interventions, the underlying mechanisms driving their success, and their potential applications in various contexts. The goal is to contribute to the growing body of literature on interventions that facilitate enduring changes in brain function, offering individuals the tools to cultivate resilience and manage distress autonomously.
To gather further insights into the boundaries of self-regulation and neuroplasticity interventions, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- The role of neurofeedback and neuromodulation in enhancing self-regulation
- Virtual reality applications for emotional and cognitive training
- The impact of mental imagery on neuroplasticity
- Music-based interventions and their effect on neural processes
- Alternative interventions for reducing dependence on pharmaceuticals
This research topic encompasses a range of cutting-edge methodologies aimed at transforming both subjective experiences and nervous system dynamics to foster self-regulatory strategies. We are interested in a variety of manuscript types, including Original Research, Reviews, Methods, Perspectives, and Case Studies. Authors are invited to submit research that prioritizes interventions designed to facilitate autonomous self-regulation, with or without the aid of training, digital tools, or technological support. The ultimate goal is to advance the understanding and implementation of strategies for autonomous well-being management.
