Task-rest interactions, defined as the modulation of brain activation during fixation periods depending on the preceding stimulation and experimental manipulation, have been described repeatedly for different cognitively demanding tasks in various regions across the brain. However, task-rest interactions in emotive paradigms have received considerably less attention. In this study, we therefore...

Emotion regulation is a key social skill and children who fail to master it are at risk for clinical disorders. Specific styles of emotion regulation have been associated with particular patterns of prefrontal activation. We investigated whether anxious aggressive children would reveal a different pattern of cortical activation than non-anxious aggressive children and normally-developing childr...

Subjective emotional experience is thought to rely on a large cortical-subcortical network including orbitofrontal and cingulate frontostriatal circuits together with the mesolimbic dopaminergic system that modulates their activity. Parkinson's disease (PD) provides a model for exploring this issue. By using an original emotion induction procedure, the present study examined to what extent subj...

The current study examined whether individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptomatology and difficulties in emotion regulation (DERS) would vary in their aggressive behavior following mood induction. One hundred and eightyfour males and females were randomly assigned to a neutral, sadness, or anger mood induction prior to participating in a competitive reaction-time task wherei...

Electroencephalogram-based emotion recognition (EEG-ER) has received increasing attention in the fields of health care, affective computing, and brain-computer interface (BCI). However, satisfactory ER performance within a bi-dimensional and non-discrete emotional space using single-trial EEG data remains a challenging task. To address this issue, we propose a three-layer scheme for single-tria...

For the last century, there has been a continuing debate about the nature of emotion. In the most recent offering in this scientific dialogue, Lench, Flores, and Bench (2011) reported a meta-analysis of emotion induction research and claimed support for the natural kind hypothesis that discrete emotions (e.g., happiness, sadness, anger, and anxiety) elicit specific changes in cognition, judgmen...

background: thus study aimed to test the hypothesis that positiveemotion can quell or undo the lingering worry and ruminationfollowing induced negative emotion.methods: 32 female students in grade 1 of high school wererandomly recruited and assigned in two experimental and controlgroups. they completed questionnaires in a pretest that are listedherewith: (1) rumination questionnaire; (2) two sc...

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex has been implicated in a variety of emotion processes. However, findings regarding the role of this region specifically in emotion recognition have been mixed. We used a sensitive facial emotion recognition task to compare the emotion recognition performance of 7 subjects with lesions confined to ventromedial prefrontal regions, 8 subjects with lesions elsewhe...

Objective: To study the influence of cognition and emotion on moral judgment college students under circumstance whether cognitive resources are occupied is induced. Methods: This experiment uses a multi-factor mixed method to divide experiments groups. Experiment 1 two-factor experimental design 2 (cognitive resource occupancy group, non-occupied group) × 3 (difficult situation type). (emotion...
