Pupillary contagion: central mechanisms engaged in sadness processing.
Empathic responses underlie our ability to share emotions and sensations with others. We investigated whether observed pupil size modulates our perception of other's emotional expressions and examined the central mechanisms modulated by incidental perception of pupil size in emotional facial expressions. We show that diminishing pupil size enhances ratings of emotional intensity and valence for...
متن کاملCentral mechanisms of pheromone information processing.
An advantage of using pheromones in olfactory studies is that they are chemical signals for which receptor neurons are evolved and thus elicit biologically relevant odour-information to be processed in the brain. In many vertebrate and insect species, the olfactory system is separated into a 'main' and an 'accessory' division, the latter mediating pheromone information. In moths, the pheromone ...
متن کاملPain mechanisms: labeled lines versus convergence in central processing.
The issue of whether pain is represented by specific neural elements or by patterned activity within a convergent somatosensory subsystem has been debated for over a century. The gate control theory introduced in 1965 denied central specificity, and since then most authors have endorsed convergent wide-dynamic-range neurons. Recent functional and anatomical findings provide compelling support f...
متن کاملLINKING MECHANISMS Emotional Contagion, Empathy, and Imagery
Deconstructing the emotional relationship between patient and therapist is certainly a formidable task. Using research results from experimental social psychology, psychophysiology, and developmental psychology, this essay focuses on the automatic processes of mimicry, emotional synchrony, and physiological synchrony— all preludes to empathy. For the therapist to achieve an empathic posture, ho...
متن کاملAuditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...
