Title: NFBusty 23/03/10 – “Lola Bredly Making It All Better”: A Neurofeedback‑Based Intervention for Body‑Image Distress

Key Takeaways:

2. Literature Review

| Domain | Key Findings | Gaps | |--------|--------------|------| | Neurobiology of BID | Reduced left dlPFC activation and heightened amygdala response to body‑related stimuli (Groen et al., 2022). | Limited longitudinal data linking neural change to symptom improvement. | | EEG Markers | Elevated frontal theta (4–7 Hz) correlates with rumination and anxiety (Cavanagh & Frank, 2014). | Specificity of theta as a marker for BID not established. | | Neurofeedback for Affective Disorders | dlPFC up‑regulation improves cognitive reappraisal; amygdala‑theta down‑regulation reduces anxiety (Kober et al., 2020). | Few trials adapt these targets for body‑image contexts. | | Mindfulness‑Integrated NF | Mindfulness enhances NF learning rates (Enriquez‑Geppert et al., 2017). | Protocols seldom combine explicit psycho‑education on body image. | | SCED in Clinical NF | SCEDs provide high‑resolution data on intra‑individual change (Kazdin, 2011). | Few SCEDs have examined BID outcomes. | NFBusty 23 03 10 Lola Bredly Making It All Bett...

NFBusty, which stands for "Nice Fat Busty," is a term that has been adopted by a community of women who celebrate and promote curvier figures. The movement aims to challenge traditional beauty standards, which often prioritize slender physiques over more voluptuous shapes. Draft Paper Title: NFBusty 23/03/10 – “Lola Bredly

1.2. Neurofeedback for Affective Regulation

Neurofeedback (NF) provides real‑time information about a participant’s brain activity, enabling voluntary self‑regulation through operant conditioning (Sitaram et al., 2017). EEG‑based NF has demonstrated efficacy for anxiety, ADHD, and depression (Enriquez‑Geppert et al., 2017). Recent work combining NF with mindfulness training shows synergistic benefits for emotion‑regulation networks (Kober et al., 2020). However, the application of NF to BID remains underexplored, with only two pilot studies reporting modest gains (Kovacs et al., 2021; Li et al., 2023). | | EEG Markers | Elevated frontal theta
