Study Summary

In a neuroimaging session, study participants will repeatedly and intermittently report the content of their ongoing, self-generated experiences based on an experience-sampling protocol in which self-report ratings will be triggered based on real-time analysis of the participant's current brain state. The protocol will be conducted while participants are undergoing MRI scanning.

Primary Outcome

Participants will rate their subject arousal level on trials that are triggered by anterior insula activation (using real-time fMRI analysis) and control trials not involving anterior insula activation. The outcome is the number of participants showing an association between self-reported arousal and fMRI activation in anterior insula.
