The aim of the present experiment is to examine oxytocin's behavioral and neural effects on social pain empathy
In the current study, the investigators plan to examine whether oxytocin modulates behavior and neural activity during observing another person being excluded in an online ball-tossing game (a modified cyberball paradigm).
