Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Both groups will receive stress reduction materials. We expect both groups to achieve similar amounts of stress reduction, but to use different brain regions to do so.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Stress Reduction

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

We are comparing 2 well-studied approaches to stress reduction. All participants will receive stress reduction instructions that have already been proven to effectively reduce stress. Our goal is to compare the neural mechanisms associated with both approaches.

Group 2

Both groups will receive stress reduction materials. We expect both groups to achieve similar amounts of stress reduction, but to use different brain regions to do so.
