Abstract
Theory of mind (ToM) is critical to successful social interactions. Utilizing real-time fMRI neurofeedback, we show that individuals can learn volitional control of regions of the ToM neural network, namely the left tempo-parietal junction, precuneus, and medial prefrontal cortices. These findings carry clinical implications for conditions that involve social-cognitive impairment.
