Scientists scan brains to solve Century-Old mystery: why we act different when others watch

NCT ID NCT03929289

Summary

This study aimed to understand why people's performance changes when others are present, a phenomenon called 'social facilitation.' Researchers used brain scans (MRI) and eye-tracking to measure how 43 healthy young adults performed tasks alone versus while being observed. The goal was to identify the brain mechanisms behind this common social effect to help apply the findings to real-world settings like schools and workplaces.
