The Neuroscience of Cognition and Affection is housed in the Medical Physics Laboratory of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. The group’s mission is to serve the community needs by endeavoring (a) to investigate human emotions, (b) to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions of physical and cognitive stimulation, and (c) to understand how these interventions nurture cognitive health and emotional well-being throughout the life span of both healthy population as well as cognitively challenged patients. Central to these efforts has been the group’s dedication to fuse the emerging field of affective computing and affective medicine with neuroscientific research3 in an attempt to study the topography and neural sources of human emotions, their oscillatory and synchronisation mechanisms, how these are affected by alcohol consumption, or aged decline or in stressed everyday situations as well as how affective technology can be used to educate children with emotional deficits. More about the group can be found here.

Neurofeedback

This database was created through the neurofeedback intervention of the SMOKEFREEBRAIN project (http://smokefreebrain.eu/). The Neurofeedback study aimed to investigating the role of combined training, including skin temperature training and alpha/theta neurofeedback training in smoking cessation. Training-induced effects in different psychological factors and possible neuroplastic alterations were explored. The study design included an initial clinical, behavioral, neurophysiological and neuropsychological evaluation that followed by five session of skin temperture training. Subsequently, another evaluation was performed following the procedures of the initial one. Then, twenty sessions of alpha/theta training were administered. After training completion another evaluation was performed. Three months after the end of intevention, participants underwent a follow-up evaluation following the same procedures as the baseline.
