This study is looking at how your real-world behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and brain activity are connected. Researchers will use a mobile phone app called "Modifying Exploration" that uses your phone's accelerometer, WiFi, and GPS to automatically collect information about your activity. They want to see if this technology can help understand changes in positive emotional responses. You can join if you are between 18 and 50 years old, are willing to have an fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan, can respond to daily text messages about your emotions, and will use a GPS tracking app (FollowMee) on your smartphone for four months. The study aims to enroll 100 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
