| Research Abstract |
The neural basis of intrinsic motivation has been unknown. We introduced a task, in that people voluntary enjoy performing it, and measured the brain activity while the participants were performing the task. By dividing the participants into "reward group" who experienced performance-based monetary reward and "control group" who did not experience it, we found that the performance-based monetary reward reduced the following brain activity based on intrinsic motivation, correlating with the undermined intrinsic motivation to perform the task.
