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: 10.1007/s10608-019-10038-7
Abstract: Attention bias, conceptualized to be involved in the development and maintenance of SAD, may differentiate teens with SAD from those without. Although SAD typically emerges during adolescence, eye-tracking research has not explicitly focused on biased… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10803-020-04795-8
Abstract: Typically developing adults with low and high Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) scores made rapid social evaluations of neutral faces when these were primed by briefly presented emotional faces. High AQ participants rated neutral faces as… read more here.

The creepy, the bad and the ugly: exploring perceptions of moral character and social desirability in uncanny faces

DOI: 10.1007/s12144-021-01452-w
Abstract: We used implicit and explicit measures to study whether “real” uncanny faces (by faces of Botox users and very ugly people) will be associated with perceptions of bad moral character and social avoidance. Implicit measures… read more here.

Is it about me? Time-course of self-relevance and valence effects on the perception of neutral faces with direct and averted gaze
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Psychology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2018.03.003
Abstract: Most face processing research has investigated how we perceive faces presented by themselves, but we view faces everyday within a rich social context. Recent ERP research has demonstrated that context cues, including self-relevance and valence,… read more here.

Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene polymorphisms and recognition memory for emotional and neutral faces: A pilot study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Learning and Motivation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.lmot.2019.101577
Abstract: Abstract Recognition memory for emotional faces plays a fundamental role in social behavior. Previous studies have indicated that an intranasal application of oxytocin facilitates emotional recognition, whereas little is yet known about the effects of… read more here.

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: 10.1038/s41398-020-01093-w
Abstract: Convergent data from imaging and postmortem brain transcriptome studies implicate corticolimbic circuit (CLC) dysregulation in the pathophysiology of depression. To more directly bridge these lines of work, we generated a novel transcriptome-based polygenic risk score… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2015.1092419
Abstract: ABSTRACT Past research has demonstrated differential recognition of emotion on faces of different races. This paper reports the first study to explore differential emotion attribution to neutral faces of different races. Chinese and Caucasian adults… read more here.

The effect of threatening facial expressions on inhibition-induced forgetting depends on their task-relevance

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2019.1650721
Abstract: ABSTRACT Inhibition-induced forgetting refers to impaired memory for the stimuli to which responses were inhibited. The present study aimed to examine if it would be modulated by the processing of threatening facial expressions. Angry and… read more here.

Long-Term Influence of Incidental Emotions on the Emotional Judgment of Neutral Faces
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.772916
Abstract: Background: Evidence indicates that the processing of facial stimuli may be influenced by incidental factors, and these influences are particularly powerful when facial expressions are ambiguous, such as neutral faces. However, limited research investigated whether… read more here.
