Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
EEG/EMG measures: EMG is used to index facial empathic responses (corrugator supercilii activity in response to negative affective stimuli and zygomaticus major activity in response to positive affective stimuli). Amplitudes and latencies of different EEG components will be computed to measure differences in processes in response to infant and child stimuli (N100, P200, N200, P300 measured over Fz, Cz, and Pz, and N170 measured over P7 and P8). Behavioral Measures: Subjective measures of reward sensitivity and empathy of the same stimuli will be collected using visual analogue scales.	—
