This study aims to understand if a single dose of oxytocin, given as a nasal spray, changes how healthy people react to threats in a virtual game. 80 participants will play a computer game where they must escape from a predator to a safe zone. Researchers will measure brain activ…

This study aims to understand if a person's natural ability to focus and control their thoughts can predict how well they perform during a specific type of brain training. Researchers will use real-time MRI scans to give 40 healthy volunteers feedback on their brain activity whil…

This study aims to understand if a nasal spray containing oxytocin, sometimes called the 'love hormone,' can change how people pay attention. Researchers will give the spray or a placebo to 250 healthy men and measure their eye movements and anxiety levels during computer tasks. …

This study aims to understand how a nasal spray containing oxytocin, sometimes called the 'love hormone,' affects how the brain processes emotions. Researchers will give the spray to 120 healthy men and use brain scans and blood tests to see if it works by going directly to the b…

This study is testing a new brain training method to help people reduce anxiety about future events. Healthy volunteers will try to learn to control a specific brain area using real-time feedback from an MRI scanner. The goal is to see if this training can help people feel less w…

This study explores how what we believe can change our experience of 'empathic pain'—the discomfort we feel when seeing someone else in pain. Researchers will give 120 healthy adults either a real nasal spray, a fake (placebo) spray, or no spray, but tell everyone they are gettin…

This study is investigating whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on the outer ear (called taVNS) can help reduce feelings of anxiety and improve how people regulate their emotions. Researchers are recruiting 140 healthy volunteers to receive either the real stimu…

This study aims to understand how two different types of real-time brain scan feedback affect a specific brain area linked to feelings and empathy. Researchers will recruit 90 healthy volunteers to compare continuous feedback with intermittent feedback. The goal is to see which m…
