Brain imaging performed in natural settings is known as mobile brain and body imaging (MoBI). One of the features which distinguishes MoBI and laboratory-based experiments is the body posture. Previous studies pointed to mechanical, autonomic, cortical and cognitive differences between upright stance and sitting or reclining. The purpose of this st...
Introduction
Social adaptation is a multifaceted process that encompasses cognitive, social, and affective factors. Previous research often focused on isolated variables, overlooking their interactions, especially in challenging environments. Our study addresses this by investigating how cognitive (working memory, verbal intelligence, self-regulati...
Aims: Research has advanced in revealing psychological and brain mechanisms in empathy-compassion experience. Yet, persistent limitations include a lack of real interactive contexts and in-depth subjective analysis. This study aimed to bridge these gaps by examining subjective experiences within an interactive setting. Methods: Twenty-nine particip...
The main objective of this proposal is the behavioral and neurophysiological characterization of cognitive biases associated with binge eating behaviors. Additionally, we will examine the effect of AAT on food choice in populations with binge eating behaviors. Our expected results will strongly impact the design of simple behavioral interventions f...
Empathy is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that plays a crucial role in human social interactions. Recent developments in social neuroscience have provided valuable insights into the neural underpinnings and bodily mechanisms underlying empathy. This methodology often prioritizes precision, replicability, internal validity, and confound contr...
Background
Motricity has been proposed to shape our perception and the pre‐reflective knowledge of the other as embodied agents. Through our motor system, we have a meaningful pre‐reflective conception of the experience of the other (empathy). We compared the sensorimotor responses and emotional perception in persons with Alzheimer’s disease (AD),...
Research in freely moving participants demonstrated that eye-movement related potentials (EMRPs) obtained during wireless EEG and eye-tracking can resolve low versus higher subjective value (SV) of products within 200 ms of first viewing. It remains unknown whether neural components underpinning SV are computed linearly or in distinct clusters. A l...
Adverse environments cause well-established detrimental effects on subjects living there. They ultimately increase the likelihood of developing negative cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes. However, these adverse effects are not ubiquitous across all people. While some individuals develop maladaptive behavior and seem unable to cope with thes...

the other as embodied agents. Through our motor system, we have a meaningful prereflective
conception of the experience of the other (empathy). We compared the

We explored how reward and value of effort shapes performance in a sustained vigilance, reaction time (RT) task. It was posited that reward and value would hasten RTs and increase cognitive effort by boosting activation in the sensorimotor cortex and inhibition in the frontal cortex, similar to the horse-race model of motor actions. Participants pe...
RationaleCue avoidance training (CAT) reduces alcohol consumption in the laboratory. However, the neural mechanisms that underlie the effects of this intervention are poorly understood.Objectives
The present study investigated the effects of a single session of CAT on event-related and readiness potentials during preparation of approach and avoidan...
Values are attributed to goods during free viewing of objects which entails multi- and trans-saccadic cognitive processes. Using electroencephalographic eye-fixation related potentials, the present study investigated how neural signals related to value-guided choice evolved over time when viewing household and office products during an auction task...
Economic decision making refers to the process of individuals translating their preference into subjective value (SV). Little is known about the dynamics of the neural processes that underpin this form of value-based decision making and no studies have investigated these processes outside of controlled laboratory settings. The current study investi...
The detection of a human face in a visual field and correct reading of emotional expression of faces are important elements in everyday social interactions, decision making and emotional responses. Although brain correlates of face processing have been established in previous fMRI and electroencephalography (EEG)/MEG studies, little is known about...
Previous studies demonstrated that pain induced by a noxious stimulus during a distraction task is affected by both stimulus-driven and goal-directed processes which interact and change over time. The purpose of this exploratory study was to analyse associations of aspects of subjective pain experience and engagement with the distracting task with...
The value of environmental cues and internal states is continuously evaluated by the human brain and it is this subjective value that largely guides decision-making. The present study aimed to investigate the initial value attribution process, specifically the spatio-temporal activation patterns associated with values and valuation context using el...
Odours alter evaluations of concurrently presented visual stimuli, such as faces. Stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is known to affect evaluative priming in various sensory modalities. However, effects of SOA on odour priming of visual stimuli are not known. The present study aimed to analyse whether subjective and cortical activation changes during...
Background
Previous studies have shown increases in subjective experience and electrophysiological processing of experimental pain during induction of negative emotions with concurrent multi-modal sensory stimuli. The goal of the present study was to analyse spatio-temporal activation patterns underlying processing of acute pain during exposures to...
Objectives
Previous neuroimaging studies have shown face-specific neural responses to faces compared to objects. The detection of face-specific brain activation in freely behaving and moving people has yet to be accomplished. The purpose of our research was to identify, using wireless multichannel EEG in freely moving participants, eye movement rel...
Objectives
Noxious stimuli capture attention and at the same time, pain is attenuated by a concurrent cognitive task. The present study aimed to elucidate the cortical mechanisms underlying diminution of pain during attentional distraction using single-trial electrocortical and subjective responses.
Methods
In 24 healthy participants, a laser heat...
Odours alter evaluations of concurrent visual stimuli. However, neural mechanisms underlying the effects of congruent and incongruent odours on facial expression perception are not clear. Moreover, the influence of emotional faces on odour perception is not established. We investigated the effects of one pleasant and one unpleasant odour paired wit...
Loss aversion is the tendency to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring gains of the same amount. To shed light on the spatio-temporal processes underlying loss aversion, we analysed the associations between individual loss aversion and electrophysiological responses to loss and gain outcomes in a monetary gamble task. Electroencephalographic feedba...
This study investigates two types of factors potentially affecting the level of complexity of processing subject–verb agreement: (i) distance between the subject and the critical verb (0, 1 or 2 constituents) and (ii) type of intervening constituent between the subject and the verb (adverb versus an NP within a PP). NPs, but not adverbs, include ad...
The aim of the current study was to investigate how the brain interprets subject-verb number agreement during language comprehension. Event related potentials (ERP's) where measured in order to investigate the neural correlates of syntactic disagreement processing in native language processing. High density EEG measurements were recorded while 18 n...
Misophonia (hatred of sound) is a newly defined psychiatric condition in which ordinary human sounds, such as breathing and eating, trigger impulsive aggression. In the current study, we investigated if a dysfunction in the brain's early auditory processing system could be present in misophonia. We screened 20 patients with misophonia with the diag...
There is evidence that a story about design history is credible to the extent that it coheres with object affordances. Results that support this theory were generally obtained with artificial materials learned in laboratory experiments. In the current experiment, we extend these findings to real artifacts that occur naturally outside the laboratory...
