Study Details

Brief summary:

In a neuroimaging session, study participants will repeatedly and intermittently report the content of their ongoing, self-generated experiences based on an experience-sampling protocol in which self-report ratings will be triggered based on real-time analysis of the participant's current brain state. The protocol will be conducted while participants are undergoing MRI scanning.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Real-time fMRI

Participants will repeatedly and intermittently report the content of their ongoing, self-generated experiences based on an experience-sampling protocol in which self-report ratings will be triggered based on real-time analysis of the participant's current brain state. The protocol will be conducted while participants are undergoing MRI scanning.

Interventions

Experience sampling

The protocol will be conducted while participants are undergoing MRI scanning.

Primary outcome measure

  • Number of participants showing an association between self-reported arousal (simple rating scale) and fMRI activation level in anterior insula [ Time Frame: Two sessions over one month ]
