DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25088
Abstract: Abstract Very preterm born (VPT) children are those born before 32/40 weeks' gestational age and comprise 10% of the 15 million babies born prematurely worldwide each year. Due to advancements in neonatal medicine, the survival rate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25889
Abstract: Rapidly detecting salient information in our environments is critical for survival. Visual processing in subcortical areas like the pulvinar and amygdala has been shown to facilitate unconscious processing of salient stimuli. It is unknown, however,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brat.2018.12.009
Abstract: People suffering from chronic worries pay excessive attention to emotional information. In this study we examined whether a reduced ability to inhibit attention from fearful faces (i.e. inhibition of return; IOR) can be attributed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2020.10.011
Abstract: Attention is an important function that allows us to selectively enhance the processing of relevant stimuli in our environment. Fittingly, a number of studies have revealed that potentially threatening/fearful stimuli capture attention more efficiently. Interestingly,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.07.029
Abstract: Implicit visual processing of emotional stimuli has been widely investigated since the classical studies on affective blindsight, in which patients with primary visual cortex lesions showed discriminatory abilities for unseen emotional stimuli in the absence… read more here.

Time course of influence on the allocation of attentional resources caused by unconscious fearful faces

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.04.001
Abstract: ABSTRACT Emotionally affective stimuli have priority in our visual processing even in the absence of conscious processing. However, the influence of unconscious emotional stimuli on our attentional resources remains unclear. Using the continuous flash suppression… read more here.

Specific amygdala response to masked fearful faces in post-traumatic stress relative to other anxiety disorders

DOI: 10.1017/s0033291717002513
Abstract: Abstract Background Altered amygdala activation to fear-related stimuli has been proposed to be a potential neural correlate of heightened threat sensitivity in anxiety- and stress-related disorders. However, the role of stimulus awareness and disorder specificity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0140525x2200200x
Abstract: Abstract Grossmann's argument for the “fearful ape hypothesis” rests on an incomplete review of infant responses to emotional faces. An alternate interpretation of the literature argues the opposite, that an early preference for happy faces… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0001184
Abstract: For humans, it is vitally important to rapidly detect potentially threatening stimuli such as fearful faces in the periphery. Trait anxiety has been related to biased responses to threatening faces, which might be more pronounced… read more here.

Associations between hypomania proneness and attentional bias to happy, but not angry or fearful, faces in emerging adults

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2020.1810638
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mania, the core feature of bipolar disorder, is associated with heightened and positive emotion responding. Yet, little is known about the underlying cognitive processes that may contribute to heightened positive emotionality observed. Additionally, while… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2020.1832050
Abstract: ABSTRACT Interoceptive processes emanating from baroreceptor signals support emotional functioning. Previous research suggests a unique link to fear: fearful faces, presented in synchrony with systolic baroreceptor firing draw more attention and are rated as more… read more here.
