The rapid and efficient selection of emotionally salient or goal-relevant stimuli in the
environment is crucial for flexible and adaptive behaviors. Converging data from …

Progress in the study of emotion and emotion regulation has increasingly been informed by
neuroscientific methods. This article focuses on two components of the event-related …

Emotional processes not only serve to record the value of sensory events, but also to elicit
adaptive responses and modify perception. Recent research using functional brain imaging …

After 40 years of investigation, steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) have been
shown to be useful for many paradigms in cognitive (visual attention, binocular rivalry …

OBJECTIVE: The present study examined the time-course of automatic and controlled
modulation of the late positive potential (LPP) during emotional picture viewing. METHODS …

Visual attention can be voluntarily directed toward stimuli and is attracted by stimuli that are
emotionally significant. The present study explored the case when both processes coincide …

Hemispheric asymmetries in affective and cognitive functions have been extensively
studied. While both cerebral hemispheres contribute to most affective and cognitive …

Visual processing is not determined solely by retinal inputs. Attentional modulation can arise
when the internal attentional state (current task) of the observer alters visual processing of …

Economists and cognitive psychologists have long known that prior rewards bias decision
making in favor of options with high expected value. Accordingly, value modulates the …

We introduce an approach based on fast periodic oddball stimulation that provides
objective, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and behavior-free measures of the human brain's …
