Brain scan study of how social thinking works in healthy people
This study uses brain scans to understand how the brain processes social understanding in healthy volunteers. You might help researchers learn how the brain supports social thinking, which can guide future research for people who struggle with it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be generally healthy based on screening and the study doctor’s decision
- You must be able to follow all study steps and schedule
- You must not have a past or suspected history of alcohol or drug misuse or regular drug use
- You should not be taking medications that affect the brain or mood (psychoactive medicines)
- You must be able to safely have an MRI scan (no MRI contraindications or limiting head/brain issues)

This study looks at brain activity in healthy people as they make decisions, using brain scans. It may help researchers understand the brain systems involved in decision-making in everyday life.
This study looks at unconscious (not consciously noticed) brain processing during decision-making in healthy people. You might help researchers understand how the brain reaches choices—and what can affect it.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to look at how people perceive social situations. You'd come in for six scanning sessions, and your brain activity would be recorded while you view social cues.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to see how different levels of social experience affect the way people understand abstract concepts. It may help us learn more about how the brain processes social information.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes while you are thinking. You will do tasks while having brain scans to help researchers understand normal brain activity.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain develops and supports thinking skills. It may help researchers learn more about healthy brain function.
