A biologically inspired neural network model to gain insight into the mechanisms of post-traumatic stress disorder and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (Frontiers in Psychology)
This study used a biologically inspired computational model combined with real data from patients treated with EMDR to gain insights into PTSD mechanisms and to investigate how EMDR achieves trauma remission.
