Healthy participants are studied
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: We will measure the brain networks of healthy participants using MEG/EEG while they perform naturalistic tasks in a virtual reality (VR) environment. First, we will develop new naturalistic p

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Healthy people with normal or corrected-to-normal vision take part in the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The typical exclusion criteria for psychological studies apply. In particular, participants are excluded if: o Psychological, psychiatric or neurological diagnoses or treatments, acute or in the past o Currently taking medication (except contraceptives) o Acute influence of alcohol or drugs In addition, the standard exclusion criteria for MEG and MRI scans listed here apply: o Presence of a pacemaker or neurostimulator o Wearers of (surgical) metal implants or prostheses (including retainers - wire behind the teeth; braces; metal plates, screws, splinters; fusion pumps; aneurism clips; joint replacements, etc.) o Non-removable dentures or braces o Permanent make-up o Tattoos o a metal-containing coil (intrauterine device) o Claustrophobia
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of this study is to identify a set of brain-wide networks that are reliably activated in most of our participants by various aspects of our naturalistic tasks and that are related to cognitive states derived from our behavioural data. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the behavioural data, i.e. the quantified facial and hand features, the movement through the VR and the respiration data. | — |
