This study looks at whether oxytocin (a natural hormone given as a spray under the tongue) changes how healthy men pay attention. Researchers will track eye movements and measure oxytocin levels in blood and saliva. The goal is to understand how oxytocin works in the brain, not t…

This study compares two ways of giving people real-time feedback on their brain activity using fMRI. 90 healthy adults will learn to control a brain region called the anterior insula, which is linked to emotions and body awareness. The goal is to see which feedback method works b…

This study looks at how a nasal spray of oxytocin, a natural hormone, changes the way healthy adult men process emotions. Researchers will use brain scans and blood tests to see how the brain responds to emotional pictures after taking oxytocin. The goal is to understand how oxyt…

This study looks at how our beliefs and expectations influence the pain we feel when watching others suffer. Healthy adults will be placed into one of three groups: no treatment, a placebo nasal spray, or a nasal spray with oxytocin. All participants in the spray groups will be t…

This study looks at whether a person's natural thinking abilities can predict how well they learn to control a specific brain region using real-time fMRI. Forty healthy adults will practice regulating their brain activity while being scanned. The goal is to understand the link be…

This study tests whether healthy adults can learn to control a part of their brain linked to worry using real-time brain scans (fMRI). Sixty participants will receive either real or fake feedback as they try to reduce their anxiety about upcoming events. The goal is to see if thi…

This study looks at whether a nasal spray with oxytocin (the 'love hormone') can help people better control a specific brain region during a brain-scanning task. Healthy adults will receive either oxytocin or a placebo and then practice using their thoughts to change brain activi…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (taVNS) can lower anxiety and help people manage their emotions better. Researchers will measure brain activity, heart rate, and skin responses in 140 healthy adults while they look at upsett…

This study tests whether a single dose of oxytocin nasal spray changes how healthy adults react to threats in a virtual predator-prey game. Researchers measure escape success, brain activity, and anxiety levels. The goal is to understand how oxytocin influences defensive behavior…
