This proposal will conduct the first pre-clinical and clinical research utilising mental imagery to disarm symptoms and enhance treatment of multiple mental disorders by controlling the strength of mental imagery. This fellowship represents the first attempt to alleviate symptoms by developing a cognitive-neuroscience method to control the strength of traumatic imagery and to show a causative means of enhancing imagery strength to boost the success rate of cognitive therapy involving imagery.

该提案将进行第一次临床前和临床研究，利用心理意象来解除症状，并通过控制心理意象的强度来加强对多种精神障碍的治疗。这项研究代表了第一次尝试通过开发一种认知神经科学方法来控制创伤意象的强度，并展示了一种增强意象强度的因果手段，以提高涉及意象的认知治疗的成功率。
