Paid research participants are needed for behavioral and/or brain imaging investigations of emotion-cognition interactions. Participants are typically asked to complete cognitive tasks (e.g., viewing pictures/videos on a computer monitor and responding to them on a keyboard), while their brain activity is measured by different techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), or optical imaging (EROS).

If you are between 18-39 years old you may be eligible.
