DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2097
Abstract: BACKGROUND Pain can have a significant impact on an individual's life, as it has both cognitive and affective consequences. However, our understanding of how pain affects social cognition is limited. Previous studies have shown that… read more here.

Differential brain mechanisms for processing distracting information in task‐relevant and ‐irrelevant dimensions in visual search
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24358
Abstract: A crucial function of our goal‐directed behavior is to select task‐relevant targets among distractor stimuli, some of which may share properties with the target and thus compete for attentional selection. Here, by applying functional magnetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-017-5051-z
Abstract: The current study investigated the role of automatic encoding and maintenance of remembered, past, and present visual distractors for reach movement planning. The previous research on eye movements showed that saccades curve away from locations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2017.10.006
Abstract: &NA; Perceptual learning can occur for a feature irrelevant to the training task, when it is sub‐threshold and outside of the focus of attention (task‐irrelevant perceptual learning, TIPL); however, TIPL does not occur when the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0000761
Abstract: Threat-related information strongly biases attention, particularly for high anxious individuals. It is less clear though what the consequences of attentional capture by threat are and how this influences subsequent visual processing. This study examined how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0001138.supp
Abstract: Emotional stimuli can disrupt or enhance task performance according to factors that are presently poorly understood. One potentially important determinant is the sensory modality involved. In unimodal visual paradigms (visual task-irrelevant stimuli during a visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/emo0001189.supp
Abstract: Emotionally salient objects activate the survival circuits of the brain and are given priority in cognitive processing, even at the cost of inhibiting ongoing activities. These circuits arouse and prepare the organism to take swift… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36826-x
Abstract: The receipt of financial rewards or penalties - though task-irrelevant - may exert an obligatory effect on manipulating items in working memory (WM) by constraining a forthcoming shift in attention or reinforcing attentional shifts that… read more here.

Common neural value representations of hedonic and utilitarian products in the ventral striatum: An fMRI study

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52159-9
Abstract: Hedonic goods are goods that people buy to obtain emotional experiences, such as joy or excitement, while utilitarian goods are bought to meet functional or instrumental needs. Although research in neuroscience suggests that the values… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02699931.2017.1404967
Abstract: ABSTRACT Deception has been reported to be influenced by task-relevant emotional information from an external stimulus. However, it remains unclear how task-irrelevant emotional information would influence deception. In the present study, facial expressions of different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00390.2020
Abstract: Action preparation involves widespread modulation of motor system excitability, but the precise mechanisms are unknown. In this study, we investigated whether intracortical inhibition changes in task-irrelevant muscle representations during action preparation. We used transcranial magnetic… read more here.
