Summary

Participants will undergo a single session of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based neurofeedback (approximately 1 hour). The investigators will assess their ability to regulate motivational networks of the brain during the exposure to alcohol cues and evaluate immediate effects on craving and cognitive bias for alcohol by administering a questionnaire and a Stroop task before and after the session.
