Brief Summary
The investigators measure brain responses of healthy participants while they perform evaluation tasks inside the fMRI. For each task the participants were primed with tactile stimuli. Results should demonstrate engagement of sensorimotor brain regions after priming, hence confirming embodiment theories.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Sensorimotor brain activation
The primary objective of this study is to examine neural correlates for embodied cognitions. We use an fMRI-approach to test if healthy participants are prone to non-conscious tactile priming effects during evaluation processes. Investigators measure the outcome by examining BOLD Response in the sensorimotor cortices (Maximum Peak in Primary somatosensory Cortex, SI). BOLD Responses will be analyzed using the Software SPM 8.
The participantes will be followed up for the duration of fMRI-scan, an exspected average of 1 hour
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Systematic changes for evaluation processes
The participants will be followed up for the duration of fMRI-scan, an exspected average of 1 hour
