Figure 1.
Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) task structure. Participants were cued (2–8 sec) regarding a potential financial “win”, “loss” or “no-outcome” using one of three coloured squares. Participants were then required to respond to a target stimulus following cue presentation. The target stimulus was presented for 400ms, during which participants were required to respond, as quickly as possible, with a button press on a hand-held key pad. Following this, participants received feedback regarding their response (1500ms), before the presentation of an end fixation period (2–8 sec), during which they saw a centrally located crosshair.
