We are recruiting volunteers to participate in a non-invasive brain imaging method called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Brain images of the participants will be obtained while they perform simple tasks and at rest. The study appointment will take approximately 2 ½ hours. Participants will receive a contribution toward expenses they may incur due to participation in this study.
Volunteers must:
1. be between the age of 19 and 60 years of age
2. have English as a first language

4. have normal vision OR contact lenses
5. meet all MRI safety criteria (no metal in your body)

7. be a healthy adult meeting the criteria outlined in (1 — 5 above)
