Abstract Neurofeedback has begun to attract the attention and scrutiny of scientific medical mainstream. Here, neurofeedback researchers present a consensus-derived checklist that aims improve reporting experimental design standards in field.
Abstract What are the determinants of altruism? While economists assume that altruism is mainly driven by fairness norms, social psychologists consider empathy to be a key motivator for altruistic behavior. To unite these two theories, we conducted an experiment in which compared behavior standard economic game assesses (the so-called Dictator Game) with Game participants’ behavioral choices were preceded either induction or control condition without induction. The results this...
The glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine produces transient dissociative states and alters cognitive functioning in healthy humans, thus resembling the core symptoms of acute chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). First evidence exists that common use analgesic sedative properties during emergency care correlates with sustained PTSD accident victims. aim present study was to examine whether administration after moderate accidental trauma modulates...
Although impaired recognition of affective facial expressions has been conclusively linked to antisocial behavior, little is known about the modifiability this deficit. This study investigated whether and under which circumstances proposed perceptual insensitivity can be addressed with a brief implicit training approach.Facial affect was assessed an animated morph task, in participants (44 male incarcerated violent offenders 43 matched controls) identified onset emotional clips that...
Abstract Introduction. The knowledge of the specificity cognitive biases in psychiatric disorders is important order to develop disorder-specific models and therapies. This cross-sectional study aimed investigate jumping conclusions (JTC) attributional (AB) for patients with schizophrenia. Methods. Twenty paranoid schizophrenia were compared depression (n=20) anorexia nervosa (n=15) nonclinical controls (n=55). All participants administered a modified version beads task (JTC), revised German...
The present study aimed to investigate the identification of threat-related facial expressions in aggressive individuals with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Thirty-two male delinquents and matched healthy controls were presented a series animated morph-clips that gradually display onset development angry, fearful, happy expressions. ASPD subjects required significantly higher levels emotional intensity correctly identify an angry expression as compared control participants. In...
Background Research evidence suggests that cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in social information processing may underlie the key aspects associated with emergence of aggression psychopathy. Despite extensive research this field, it is unclear whether deficit relates to general attentional problems or affects early stages processing. Therefore, aim was explore link between aggression, psychopathic traits, deficits young antisocial violent offenders (YAVOs) healthy controls (CTLs)....
Objective: ADHD has been repeatedly linked to problems in social functioning. Although some theories assume that the emotion recognition deficits are explained by general attentional deficits, mounting evidence suggests they may actually constitute a distinct impairment. However, it remains unclear whether deficient processing affects specific emotional categories or generalize all basic emotions. The present study aims investigate these questions assessing sensitivity six emotions adults...
Cognitive deficits including impaired information processing speed as assessed by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) are common in multiple sclerosis (MS). Oscillatory markers of may be extracted from magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) resting-state recordings. In this context, an increased proportion frontal slow-wave (theta, 4–8 Hz) to fast-wave (beta, 13–30 EEG activity was indicative SDMT performance. Such theta/beta ratio reflect oscillatory slowing...
Numerous studies have demonstrated a robust link between alexithymic traits and somatic complaints in patients suffering from psychosomatic disorders, while less is known about disease-related impairments the processing of affective social information. Deficits emotion recognition can lead to misinterpretations signals induce distress interpersonal interactions. This, turn, might contribute somatoform symptomatology affected individuals. The aim present study was investigate basal facial...
