Summary

This trial is looking for healthy right-handed volunteers 18-65 years old to help develop tasks that investigate a person's behavior.

What is being tested?
The study is testing new computerized tasks to understand the behavior of people with alcohol use disorders. These tasks will be performed during a one-hour MRI scan session which may require lying still for up to 20 minutes.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include discomfort from loud noises (despite earplugs), having to lie still inside the scanner which could cause stiffness or soreness, and potential anxiety due to confinement in the MRI cylinder.
