Brief Summary:
The purpose of this project is to investigate the possible effect of intranasally administered Oxytocin OT on specific mirror neuron areas in human brain The mirror neuron system MNS is thought to be involved in action perception and understanding and may also underlie more complex cognitive processes such as imitation We will use electroencephalographic EEG investigations to examine brain activity while participants complete two different tasks consisting of the observation and imitation of emotional facial expressions video presented and the observation and execution of simple grasping actions live presented respectively In addition before the beginning of the EEG recording session subjects will be randomly assigned to two different groups Oxytocin or Placebo group and will receive a dose of either intranasal Oxytocin or Placebo solution Oxytocin is a polypeptide hormone that plays a critical role in social behavior We will identify mu and beta rhythm from the ongoing EEG and examine suppression as a function of emotion and goal directed action perception and imitationexecution
