Using movies and narratives as naturalistic stimuli in human neuroimaging studies has
yielded significant advances in understanding of cognitive and emotional functions. The …

Our capacity to jointly represent information about the world underpins our social
experience. By leveraging one individual's brain activity to model another's, we can measure …

Parent-child synchrony, the coupling of behavioral and biological signals during social
contact, may fine-tune the child's brain circuitries associated with emotional bond formation …

Categorical models of emotions posit neurally and physiologically distinct human basic
emotions. We tested this assumption by using multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to …

Naturalistic stimuli such as movies, music, and spoken and written stories elicit strong
emotions and allow brain imaging of emotions in close-to-real-life conditions. Emotions are …

This new edition of the bestselling text, Nurturing Natures, provides an indispensable
synthesis of the latest scientific knowledge about children's emotional development …

When listening to spoken narratives, we must integrate information over multiple, concurrent
timescales, building up from words to sentences to paragraphs to a coherent narrative …

Emotional communication between parents and children is crucial during early life, yet little
