Brain scans to understand social perception
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to come for 6 MRI scan sessions.
- Previous MRI scans must have gone well, with little head movement and good focus.
- No metal objects in your body that are unsafe for MRI.
- No serious psychiatric or neurological illness, and no current psychiatric medication.
- No claustrophobia and no heavy nicotine or alcohol use.
- Not pregnant and no history of head injury or illicit drug use.

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 study uses real-time brain scans to let healthy adults see and train their own brain activity. It aims to understand how the brain works and may help develop new ways to improve brain function.
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 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.
