C3: Systematic Training of Cognitive Processes in Patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

In project C3, we aim to study cognitive processes in patients with PTSD. We will develop and systematically test a video-game based training intervention in a clinical sample by use of a pre-post-test design. Behavioural and structural as well as functional magnetic resonance imaging assessments will be done before and after a six-week training period. Two clinical follow-ups will be conducted after six and twelve months to investigate the training effects in comparison to a control group.
