Feasibility of internet-based multimodal emotion recognition training in adolescents with and without autism: A pilot study Open
Results suggest that the iMERAT intervention is feasible for adolescents with ASD. Gains in ER ability were observed, but the small sample size and lack of a control group render these findings tentative. Further research is required to as…

Altered empathy processing in frontotemporal dementia A task-based fMRI study Open
A lack of empathy, and particularly its affective components, is a core symptom of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Visual exposure to images of a needle pricking a hand (pain condition) and Q-tips touching a hand (cont…

Trainee psychotherapists’ emotion recognition accuracy during 1.5 years of psychotherapy education compared to a control group: no improvement after psychotherapy training Open
The ability to recognize and work with patients’ emotions is considered an important part of most psychotherapy approaches. Surprisingly, there is little systematic research on psychotherapists’ ability to recognize other people’s emotiona…

Trainee psychotherapists’ emotion recognition accuracy improves after training: emotion recognition training as a tool for psychotherapy education Open
Introduction Psychotherapists’ emotional and empathic competencies have a positive influence on psychotherapy outcome and alliance. However, it is doubtful whether psychotherapy education in itself leads to improvements in trainee psychoth…

Cognition, prior aggression, and psychopathic traits in relation to impaired multimodal emotion recognition in psychotic spectrum disorders Open
Background Psychopathic traits have been associated with impaired emotion recognition in criminal, clinical and community samples. A recent study however, suggested that cognitive impairment reduced the relationship between psychopathy and…

Why the Single-N Design Should Be the Default in Affective Neuroscience Open
Many studies in affective neuroscience rely on statistical procedures designed to estimate population averages and base their main conclusions on group averages. However, the obvious unit of analysis in affective neuroscience is the indivi…

Age-Related Differences in Amygdala Activation Associated With Face Trustworthiness but No Evidence of Oxytocin Modulation Open
The amygdala has been shown to be responsive to face trustworthiness. While older adults typically give higher face trustworthiness ratings than young adults, a direct link between amygdala response and age-related differences in face trus…

Estimated gray matter volume rapidly changes after a short motor task Open
Skill learning induces changes in estimates of gray matter volume (GMV) in the human brain, commonly detectable with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Rapid changes in GMV estimates while executing tasks may however confound between- and w…

A Review of the Effects of Valenced Odors on Face Perception and Evaluation Open
How do valenced odors affect the perception and evaluation of facial expressions? We reviewed 25 studies published from 1989 to 2020 on cross-modal behavioral effects of odors on the perception of faces. The results indicate that odors may…

Moment-to-moment brain signal variability reliably predicts psychiatric treatment outcome Open
Biomarkers of psychiatric treatment response remain elusive. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has shown promise, but low reliability has limited the utility of typical fMRI measures as harbingers of treatment success. Strikingl…
