Neural signatures representing threats along the predatory imminence continuum during dynamic predator-prey interaction Open
Predator-prey interactions are dynamic and require prey to draw on a repertoire of adaptive survival responses. However, how humans encode threats along the predatory imminence continuum to facilitate escape during such interactions remain…

Self-navigating the “Island of Reil”: a systematic review of real-time fMRI neurofeedback training of insula activity Open
Real-time fMRI (rtfMRI) neurofeedback (NF) is a novel noninvasive technique that permits individuals to voluntarily control brain activity. The crucial role of the insula in emotional and salience processing makes it one of the most common…

Neural Patterns of Social Pain in the Brain‐Wide Representations Across Social Contexts Open
Empathy can be elicited by physiological pain, as well as in social contexts. Although physiological and different social contexts induce a strong subjective experience of empathy, the general and context‐specific neural representations re…
