**Clinicians Use Brain Imaging to Predict Which Anxious People Will Blame Their App for Not Working**
In a dazzling breakthrough sure to delight both neuroscientists and people who love posting about their mental health on Instagram, clinicians have harnessed brain imaging to predict exactly who will actually benefit from that self-guided anxiety care app you downloaded six months ago but never opened.
According to a new clinical trial analysis, brain imaging can now discern previously invisible cosmic differences between those whose prefrontal cortexes light up at the words “guided breathing exercise” and those whose brains flatline at “push notifications.” The technology answers one of modern psychiatry’s most urgent questions: Is it you, or is it the app?
“We used to treat anxiety treatment like a one-size-fits-all beanie hat,” said Dr. Mindy Cortex, a researcher at the Not-At-All-Pretend Institute for Brain Stuff. “But with neuroimaging, we can finally tell who needs a fancy digital mindfulness journey and who just needs to call their mom.”
The ImagiScan 3000, a device resembling an aggressively overcaffeinated bicycle helmet, analyzes neural firework displays as test subjects watch soothing app intro animations. “If your anterior cingulate cortex dances like it’s 1999, you’ll probably benefit from tracking your morning mood for seven straight minutes,” said Dr. Cortex. “If not, maybe you’re better off with cake!”
For app developers, this discovery is a game-changer. “We’re eager to stop getting one-star ratings from people whose brains are immune to our adorable mascot, Calm Squirrel,” sighed Greg Code, CTO of TranquiliApp. “Now, we’ll know up front—science can tell them it’s not the app, it’s just their wiring.”
Meanwhile, experts warn that no app, no matter how tailored, can replace human contact, professional help, or the healing power of eating frosting directly from the can.
Stay tuned for next week’s breakthrough: an algorithm that predicts which mindfulness podcaster will most annoy your amygdala.
