How our brains work when we cooperate
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain works during cooperation between people. You may need to do activities on a computer or have brain scans (MRI) to see how you work with others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to speak and read English.
- You must be either a US resident (for the online study) or be willing to visit a clinic in Pittsburgh (for the clinic study).
- You must be between 18 and 100 years old (online) or 20 to 60 years old (clinic).
- For the online study, you need a desktop or laptop computer with internet access.
- For the clinic study, you need a smartphone with cellular data and no condition that would make an MRI unsafe (like metal implants or pregnancy).
- You cannot have had a brain injury or a history of psychosis or mania (for the clinic part, you also need stable psychiatric treatment for the past two months).

This study looks at how brain activity syncs between people with schizophrenia and others. It aims to understand social interaction differences—potentially leading to better treatments.
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 the brain processes social situations in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It aims to understand brain activity during social interactions, which could help improve future treatments.
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 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.
