Summary

This study looks at how healthy adults' brains keep track of both the emotional content and the duration of emotional events. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) and a technique called TMS to understand which brain regions handle this information and help guide decisions. The goal is to learn more about basic brain functions, not to treat any disease.
