Primary Outcome Measures

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