Summary
This study looks at how experiencing a stressful social situation changes brain activity in healthy adults. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) to compare people who go through a social stress test with those who don't. The goal is to understand the brain's response to stress, not to treat any condition. About 50 people aged 18-55 who are right-handed and fluent in English can join.
