A new form of fMRI neurofeedback, based on multi-voxel pattern information, is used to arbitrate between several theories of conscious perception. Unbeknownst to participants, their subjective confidence in a visual discrimination task could be manipulated using this technique. This, in turn, inspired a double-blind placebo-controlled way of implementing exposure therapy, which can be used to reduce previously acquired fear/traumatic memory.
