My Brain!


Last week I participated in a psychology study testing the effects of empathy on the brain. It included two weeks of nightly surveys on how connected I felt with people and the final segment included an MRI of my brain. I was a little worried that I'd be claustrophobic but it wasn't a problem at all! Especially since they put $10,000 goggles on me that showed everything on the experimenter's computer. I was so glad that I could participate and I got paid for it, too! $110- woo hoo! And apparently, according to the pictures, the lab workers said that I have a very healthy brain! Great!
