Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate how the brain processes emotions, and the way these processes affect behavior. Specifically, we hypothesize that individual differences in reward responsiveness will correlate with differential activation in mesolimbic regions of the brain and predict future wellbeing in follow-up interviews.

Primary Outcome

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data are acquired while participants perform the instrumental learning task. fMRI data allows us to measure aspects of brain activity.
