Phylogenetically the most ancient sense, olfaction is characterized by a unique intimacy with the emotion system. However, mechanisms underlying olfaction-emotion interaction remain unclear, especially in an ever-changing environment and dynamic internal milieu. Perturbing the internal state with anxiety induction in human subjects, we interrogated emotion-state-dependent olfactory processing i...

Emotions are multifaceted phenomena that affect our behaviour, perception, and cognition. Increasing evidence indicates induction mechanisms play a crucial role in triggering emotions by simulating the sensations required for an experimental design. Over years, many reviews have evaluated passive elicitation mechanism where user is observer, ignoring importance of self-relevance emotional exper...

The possible role of emotion in anosognosia for hemiplegia (i.e., denial of motor deficits contralateral to a brain lesion), has long been debated between psychodynamic and neurocognitive theories. However, there are only a handful of case studies focussing on this topic, and the precise role of emotion in anosognosia for hemiplegia requires empirical investigation. In the present study, we aim...

This paper proposes an emotion recognition system using EEG signals, therefore a new approach to emotion state analysis by approximate (ApEn) and wavelet entropy (WE) is described. We have used EEG signals recorded during emotion in five channels (FP1, FP2, T3, T4 and Pz), under pictures induction environment (calmneutral and negative excited) for participants. After a brief introduction to the...

While emotion dysregulation has been investigated as a key variable in the development and persistence of personality psychopathology, few studies have explored state emotion dysregulation among individuals with personality disorders (PDs). The current study addresses this void in the literature through a laboratory investigation of state emotion dysregulation among participants with and withou...

This study examined the hypothesis that emotion is a psychological event constructed from the more basic elements of core affect and conceptual knowledge. Participants were primed with conceptual knowledge of fear, conceptual knowledge of anger, or a neutral prime and then proceeded through an affect-induction procedure designed to induce unpleasant, high-arousal affect or a neutral affective s...

Although the induction of a safe place led to changes on physiological level with impact for emotional processing, effect emotion regulation is still unclear. This study examined effects self-distant reflecting strategy (safe induction) positive and negative affect compared self-immersed way (rumination task) autobiographic event. In student population, 54 healthy participants underwent recalle...

Maladaptive regulation of positive emotion has increasingly been associated with psychopathology. Little is known, however, about how individual strategies used to manage positive emotion predict concurrent emotional responding and prospective illness course across mood disorders. The present study examined the concurrent and prospective influence of amplification and dampening regulation strat...

There is increasing interest in the beneficial clinical effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). Research has demonstrated their efficacy in a wide range of psychological conditions characterized by emotion dysregulation. Neuroimaging studies have evidenced functional and structural changes in a myriad of brain regions mainly involved in attention systems, emotion regulation, and self...
