Summary
The study aims to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to provide a more detailed understanding of the regions of the brain associated with specific individual emotions. It is hoped that the findings will improve our understanding of the way in which our brains process emotional information and and may provide important new information for understanding emotional disorders.
