During their first in-person appointment, participants receive written and verbal information about the study and provide written informed consent (criterion 14). Inclusion criterion 10 only applies to the MRI subsample: participants who are not eligible for undergoing the MRI procedure skip the neuroimaging procedures and take part in all other parts of the study. During the baseline day (both baseline days in the case of Mainz and Nijmegen see Fig. 1), a drug test is performed
