How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Background Binge eating (BE) is associated with a range of cognitive control deficits related to impulsivity, including lower response inhibition, preference for immediate gratification, and maladaptive decision-making. The aim was to investigate whether impulsivity and BE may interact with the decision process and underlying brain activity in outp...

Article
This study investigates bistable perception as a function of the presentation side of the ambiguous figures and of participants' sex, to evaluate left-right hemispheric (LH-RH) asymmetries related to consciousness. In two experiments using the divided visual field paradigm, two Rubin's vase-faces figures were projected simultaneously and continuous...

Purpose Recent studies have explored the effect of specific body postures on dominance perception. We investigated whether the high-power posture (i.e. an open and expansive posture) and the low-power posture (i.e. a closed and contracted posture) can influence the decision-making process involved in the Ultimatum Game (UG). Specifically, we consid...
Article
Over the last decade, many researchers investigated the neurophysiological underpinnings of eating behavior through neuroimage and neurostimulation techniques. In this field, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) and ventral midbrain have a key role since their involvement in cognitive control, rewarding and...

Full-text available
Over the past fifteen years, research has demonstrated the central role of interpersonal emotions in communicating intentions, goals and desires. These emotions can be conveyed through facial expressions during specific social interactions, such as in the context of coordination between economic agents, where information inferred from them can infl...

Many studies suggest that specific movements or postures with shared social meaning can influence mainly verbal stimuli evaluation. On the other hand, several visuospatial biases can interact with this influence. Thus, we tested whether both head and stimuli movements can influence individual attitude towards food pictures. In two experiments, we u...
Article
If a food product is not perceived positively in its appearance, it is unlikely eaten. However, there are several subtle spatial cues able to bias attitudes towards food, such as the position where it is displayed. To date, no-one has investigated how the placement of high-calorie food (HcFd) or low-calorie food (LcFd) on a screen, influences them...
Presentation
Mediante 3 esperimenti abbiamo esplorato l’effetto dei movimenti dell’annuire e del negare (socialmente connotati da un significato di accordo e disaccordo, accettazione e rifiuto) sulla valutazione da parte dei consumatori di determinati prodotti alimentari. In particolare, per ogni cibo i partecipanti ne valutavano la piacevolezza, il desiderio d...

The rubber hand illusion is a perceptual illusion whereby a model hand is embodied during tac-tile stimulation. The aim of the present study is to investigate the onset time of the illusion in relation to age. We used two sensors, made using Arduino NANO, in order to record the onset time in which the participants said to start perceiving the illus...

The Rubber Hand Illusion is a perceptual illusion whereby a model hand is embodied during tactile stimulation. Using this paradigm, the aim of the present study is to investigate the onset time of the illusion in relation to subjects’ age. We used two sensors, made using Arduino NANO, in order to record the exact moment in which the subjects verbal...
