Interested individuals will be asked to complete a screening questionnaire prior to being enrolled in the study.
If eligible, participants will be asked to complete two testing sessions. In the first session, they will complete various computer tasks and questionnaires. During the session, participants will see images of faces, shapes, and objects on a computer and will be asked questions about the items they see. For example, “Are these two pictures the same or different?” In a second session, participants will return to complete a task inside an MRI scanner. In this session, participants will see images of faces and objects on a screen while they lie still in the scanner and will be asked questions about the items they see. For example, “Is this one the same one you just saw?”
