Resting-state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) is a widely used neuroimaging technique that measures spontaneous fluctuations in blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals while individuals are not engaged in any specific task. These fluctuations reveal intrinsic functional networks that are crucial for cognition, attention, emotion regulation, and decision-making. This research investigates how resting-state connectivity influences cognition and emotion.
Procedure: Participants will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in a MRI scanner for 30 minutes). Following MRI scan, participants will complete a set of behavioral tasks on a computer in a quiet testing room. Following the behavioral tasks, participants will complete several standard self-report questionnaires on a computer survey form.
