Participant will be presented with a series of images (cues) and sounds. Three conditions will occur - a no shock (N), predictable shock (P), and unpredictable shock (U). In P, shocks will only occur with the cue. In U, shocks will happen at any time. Participants will be told which condition they are in throughout the task. Startle sounds will occur throughout. 3 Study visits will occur - identical conditions for the participant, testing 2 brain regions and 1 sham visit.
Participants will be presented with a moving line. When the line reaches a certain point - an event will occur. This event will either be a painful shock or a monetary reward. Startle sounds will occur throughout. 3 study visits will occur - identical conditions for the participant, testing 2 brain regions and 1 sham visit.
