Brain Imaging Study of How We Perceive Social Situations
This research study uses MRI brain scans to understand how your brain processes social information and forms impressions of other people. You'll complete 6 scanning sessions over several weeks while we observe your brain activity during tasks about social perception.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Able to commit to 6 MRI scan sessions (brain imaging appointments)
- No metal implants or objects in your body (pacemakers, certain metal plates, etc.)
- No history of serious psychiatric or neurological conditions
- Not currently taking psychiatric medications
- Comfortable in enclosed spaces and able to lie still in an MRI machine
- No history of significant head injuries, heavy substance use, or pregnancy

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.
This study uses a new type of brain scanner (MEG) to take very fast pictures of brain activity. It's for healthy people or those who've had a mild concussion recently.
This trial uses real-time brain imaging (MRI) to train a part of your brain linked to imagining social support. It is for healthy volunteers who want to see if they can learn to control their brain activity.
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
This study uses real-time brain scans (fMRI) to see how people's thinking skills affect their ability to learn to control their own brain activity. It is for healthy individuals who want to help researchers understand brain training.
This study uses an MRI brain scan that can monitor brain activity in real time while you answer brief experience questions. It’s meant to help researchers understand how brain signals relate to people’s moment-to-moment experiences.
