Abstract
Resting state neural activity and activity during empathy processing tasks were measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Elevated resting state activation was associated with less efficient neural activity during subsequent empathy processing tasks. Patterns of resting state and task-related neural activation significantly interacted with each other in predicting internalizing symptoms.
