The main aim of this study is to test a new, non-medication computer-based potential treatment for bipolar disorder in children and adolescents. In the study, children and adolescents with bipolar disorder will come to our lab at Bradley Hospital 2-times per week for 8-weeks to "play" a custom computer "game" designed to retrain the brain--to build a skill that my work has shown is impaired in children/adolescents with bipolar disorder. Before and after this 8-week trial, children will have a special magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. This is a test of feasibility--meaning we want to see if the 8-week trial results in brain changes. If it does, we will conduct a second study to see if it improves how bipolar children function--i.e., if it helps their illness.

Change in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain activation
We will compare functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain activation from week 1 (before intervention starts) to week 8 (after intervention is complete).

In the R33, children will be randomized to receive either COGFLEX with skill-building levels or just baseline/non-probabilistic trials. All children will play COGFLEX twice per week for 8-weeks.
In the R33, children will be randomized to receive either COGFLEX with skill-building levels or the control condition--which is just baseline/non-probabilistic trials. All children will play COGFLEX twice per week for 8-weeks.
COGFLEX--in English-- is a computer game designed to build up a specific skill that our work has shown is impaired in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder). In the R33, children will be randomized to receive either COGFLEX with skill-building levels or COGFLEX-control condition which is just baseline/non-probabilistic trials. All children will play COGFLEX twice per week for 8-weeks. This same approach has shown great success in many psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. This is the first such study in children/adolescents with bipolar disorder.

In the R33, the control condition will be the same COGFLEX "game"--but just baseline/non-probabilistic trials. All children will play COGFLEX twice per week for 8-weeks.
