Just curious what the consensus is on fMRIs. Seems like a lot of people here are interested in getting one -- I am as well -- but I just want to make sure they're safe and won't exacerbate DP.

This is part of a study at a local university so it's obviously very professional and I'd get paid $1,000 U.S. to participate, which I really need right now.

Also, what about EEGs or other forms of neurofeedback? Any reported cases of DP worsening?

Thanks.

I know MRIs are very safe (I actually had one 2 days ago), so I would assume fMRIs are too. My MRI did nothing to my DP.

Also, as far as I know, an EEG or neurofeedback will do nothing to make your DP worse. I've also done both. I tried neurofeedback but it did nothing to improve my DP, but also no harm.

I'd say go for it.

Ah, thanks guys. Really appreciate the help.

The study is on the effects of sunlight for persons who've experienced trauma or chronic stress in the last 10 years. Being that I fit under both those categories (wouldn't be here without it!) and have an autoimmune disorder that only sunlight seems to help I definitely want to participate and help advance the awareness and research on these issues. I'll see if I can post some of my results as this unfolds.

What's the aim of the study anyway?

I thought about taking part in an fMRI study about something else just to find out what is my wrong in my brain. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a suitable study.

What state is this in? Count me in, lmao.

Yeah, let us know what happens!
