Michelle Hampson

Hampson was appointed to the faculty of Yale University in 2002, where she develops real-time (rt) fMRI for the treatment of mental and neurological conditions.^[9] The Hampson lab has worked on the development of fMRI neurofeedback to help people with obsessive–compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder.^{[10][11][12][13][14]} For example, in patients with contamination anxiety, making use of neurofeedback to visualize and control activity in the orbitofrontal cortex was shown to be helpful for controlling that anxiety.^[15][16] For patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, Hampson explored whether it is possible to control activity in the amygdala when recalling trauma.^[17] Her group found that clinical impacts of neurofeedback can take weeks to unfold after training.^[18]

In 2021, Hampson edited the Elsevier textbook fMRI Neurofeedback.^[19]

Most recently, she has become interested in ethical issues associated with neurofeedback.^[20][21]
