Brief description of study.

Volunteers are needed to participate in a study investigating links of brain structure & function in the Social Neuroscience Lab run by Dr. Aina Puce in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Indiana University.

Detailed description of study

The experiment will be conducted in 2 sessions lasting about 2 hours each, conducted in our laboratory and in the Imaging Research Facility in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.  The volunteer is required to rest quietly with eyes open for 4 periods of 10 minutes each, while either the electrical activity of the brain [Session 1] or brain bloo flow [Session 2] is measured.  Some additional structural MRI scans of the brain will also be taken.

Participants will be compensated for their participation.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Healthy
  • Age: 25 years - 70 years
  • Gender: All

Exclusion Criteria

Previous history of neurological and/or psychiatric illness.
Women who believe that there is a chance that they might be pregnant.

This study investigates the links between brain structure and function. It takes place at the Social Neuroscience Lab at Indiana University. The purpose is to understand how different parts of the brain work together. This involves measuring brain activity and blood flow, which can give insights into brain functions.

Participants will attend two sessions, each lasting about two hours. During these sessions, they will rest quietly with their eyes open. In one session, the electrical activity of the brain will be measured, and in the other, brain blood flow will be monitored. Additionally, structural MRI scans of the brain will be taken.

  • Who can participate: Adults without a history of neurological or psychiatric illness can participate. Women who think they might be pregnant are not eligible.
  • Study details: Participants will need to attend two sessions where they will rest quietly while their brain activity and blood flow are measured. Structural MRI scans will also be taken during these sessions.
  • Study Visits: The study requires 2 visits.
