Social Rejection Study: Profile

Caption

Similar to online dating, the study participants chose profiles of people they are most attracted to. They viewed the profiles (left), and their own (right) while lying in a brain scanner that tracked their brain's opioid response when they were told the person they'd chosen did or did not like them (as in the last line of this image).
