Common Questions:
What will I be doing?
At the Hartley Lab we collect different kinds of information. To understand your affective states we will have you fill out questionnaires. To understand how you respond to certain conditions we will have you play computer games. To examine how your brains work functionally while doing particular tasks, we will have you undergo an MRI scan. None of our tasks are harmful.
You will be informed of the tasks that you will be exposed to, before you decide if you would like to participate. Furthermore, if you are at all uncomfortable during any part of the experiment you may stop.

Will I be compensated?
You will receive monetary compensation for your participation (at least $15/hour). Also, if you have participated in an MRI study, you will receive a photo of your brain if you would like one.
Are MRI scans safe?
There are no known or foreseeable risks or side effects associated with MRI scanning procedures. Only individuals who have electrically, magnetically or mechanically activated implants, or metal in or on their bodies are at rick, because the MRI machine uses a huge magnet to take the images. Therefore, we screen all potential participants to insure that they are safe to have an MRI and carefully remove all metal from eligible participants before they are approved to enter the MRI environment. We will provide more detailed information about MRI scanning if you come in to participate.
