Behavioral and MR scanning
After enrollment, participants will be screened on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, during the single study, participants will be administered a series of questionnaires (Edinburgh Handedness Inventory - Short Form; Evaluation of social related abilities, competences, and traits: Autism Quotient Test, DASS-21, SIAS, DERS, Ekman test; SET; I-TIPI, and conceptual ratings on semantic dimensions (moral, social, political). Then, an MR acquisition without contrast will be performed. Specifically, we will acquire structural, resting state and functional (BOLD) sequences, in the latter case during the administration of a semantic categorization task. The task is aimed to ascertain participants' responses time and accuracy in processing abstract concepts. Participants will be required to indicate the category of each of the visually presented words by means of button press. The study visit will last 3 hours in total.
