Study Summary

This trial assesses how well we remember emotions over time, using online or in-person sessions. In-person sessions will use MRI imaging.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals fluent in English who can follow the study protocol. Online participants need an account on a specified crowdsourcing platform. Those with psychiatric or neurological conditions, current psychotropic drug use, or specific issues that preclude MRI scans (like metal in the body) cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to understand how emotional memories affect each other over time using two encoding sessions and one retrieval session. Participants will either join online or in-person; the latter includes brain imaging during encoding sessions.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a behavioral study focusing on memory and does not involve medication, there are no direct side effects from interventions like drugs. However, discomfort from lying still during fMRI scans may occur.
