Appraisals can be influenced by cultural beliefs and stereotypes. In line with this, past research has shown that judgments about the emotional expression of a face are face's sex, vice versa sex person somewhat depend on person's facial expression. For example, participants associate anger male faces, female faces happiness or sadness. However, strength bidirectionality these effects remain debated. Moreover, interplay stimulus' emotion remains mostly unknown in auditory domain. To...
Abstract Task-free brain activity exhibits spontaneous fluctuations between functional states, characterized by synchronized activation patterns in distributed resting-state (RS) networks. The temporal dynamics of the networks’ electrophysiological signatures reflect individual variations and connectivity linked to mental states cognitive functions can predict or monitor vulnerability develop psychiatric neurological disorders. In particular, RS alpha modulate perceptual sensitivity,...
Abstract Background Sensory suppression occurs when hearing one’s self-generated voice, as opposed to passively listening own voice. Quality changes in sensory feedback the voice can increase attentional control. These affect self-other distinction and might lead voices absence of an external source (ie, auditory verbal hallucinations). However, it is unclear how processing attention allocation interact this interaction relate hallucination proneness (HP). Study Design Participants varying...
Abstract Stimuli that evoke emotions are salient, draw attentional resources, and facilitate situationally appropriate behavior in complex or conflicting environments. However, negative positive may motivate different response strategies. For example, a threatening stimulus might avoidant behavior, whereas prompt approaching behavior. Therefore, emotional stimuli either elicit differential behavioral responses when conflict arises simply mark salience. The present study used functional...
Abstract Background Sensory suppression occurs when hearing one’s self-generated voice, as opposed to passively listening own voice. Quality changes of sensory feedback the voice can increase attentional control. These affect self-other distinction and might lead non-existent voices in absence an external source (i.e., auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH)). However, it is unclear how processing attention allocation interact this interaction relate hallucination proneness (HP). Study Design...
Background: Previous research on the multidimensionality of hallucination-like experiences (HLEs) across psychosis continuum highlights methodological disparities, emphasizing need for a cautious interpretation findings and transparent reporting parameters used in analysis. Methods: This study aimed to refine factorial structure 16-item Launay-Slade Hallucination Scale (LSHS), enhance clarity, improve comparability generalizability LSHS factor solutions. To this end, an Exploratory Factor...
Abstract Ample research explored changes in sensory feedback processing of the self-voice as well control attention allocation voice hearers, including both non-clinical hearers and with a psychotic disorder. While attentional bias toward negative emotional information disorder due to heightened sensitivity towards threat/danger is established, it remains unclear how positive emotion captures or controls attention. Manipulating certainty self-voice, transitioning from fully neutral entirely...
Abstract Introduction Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are a transdiagnostic phenomenon but also occur in the general population. The disposition to experience AVH is considered continuous expression from non-clinical clinical hallucination proneness (HP). Currently, little known about neurophysiology of HP part continuum. might result heightened sensitivity sensory inputs and decreased ability differentiate between externally internally generated input. Resting state (RS) alpha band...
Abstract Altered sensory feedback processing and attention control are assumed to contribute auditory verbal hallucinations, which experienced by the general population patients with psychosis, implying a continuum of hallucination proneness (HP). However, interaction altered along this HP remains unclear. Manipulating level certainty changing self-voice quality (100% neutral, 60-40% neutral-angry, 50-50% 40-60% 100% angry) in individuals varying HP, we tested using electroencephalography...
Abstract Background Sensory brain areas typically reduce their activity when we speak, allowing us to differentiate our own from someone else’s speech. Similarly, the amplitude of N100 component EEG event-related potential in response speech is smaller than for passive listening or This suppression effect seems be altered voice hearers, which turn could result source misattribution (e.g., self-produced attributed an external source). Emotion can have a comparable effect, altering not only...
