We are recruiting participants for a study assessing age-appropriate strategies to take pictures of the brains of infants using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This will hopefully lead to us being able to investigate how the brain develops in the first two years of life. Parents/guardians of healthy full term children (3 to 24 months) are invited to contact our study staff for more information. Study participation takes 2-3 hours and families will receive $50-$150 for their participation. This study has received UW-Health Sciences IRB approval and is part of the research program of the Waisman Center under the direction of Richard J. Davidson, Ph.D.

The UW-Madison Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience is currently recruiting participants for a study that investigates how those processes relate to one another.
You will perform a few computerized tasks in an fMRI scanner that take up to 2 hours to complete, and you will receive $25/hour.
Participants must be right handed, between 18-30 years old, free from psychiatric illnesses, have corrected vision, and be a US citizen, permanent resident, or have a valid F1 or J1 visa. Either ITIN or SSN is required for payment. Eligibility regarding fMRI safety criteria will be determined via a phone interview.

The main purpose of this study is to identify parts of the brain that become activated while people make economic decisions. The study includes 1 laboratory session. During the session you will play a simple economic decision making game and fill out several questionnaires while MR images are collected. This will involve being placed in a large metal doughnut-shaped magnet. MR images reflect changes in the blood flow around parts of the brain that become active during a certain task. The session will take up to 1.5 hours. You will be paid in accordance with the outcome of your decision-making task. It is possible to earn at least $20/hour.
