Understanding the Causal Role of Attention Biases in Depression: Experimental manipulation of attention using Eye-Tracking Techniques

The aim of this project is to develop new techniques to manipulate attention biases in depression. A procedure targeting attention biases will be developed to clarify their role in social disturbance. Another procedure will analyze the role of attention-interpretation interplays in depressive disturbances. Finally, these techniques will be used with depressed patients to clarify their efficacy in modifying clinical symptoms.
