Amygdalar lesions may impair emotion recognition in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy: Results from a pilot study Open
In the present study, only TLE patients with amygdalar pathology showed deficits in visual and auditory emotion recognition. These results provide preliminary evidence for the importance of intact amygdalae in TLE for basic emotion process…

Does attentional focus modulate affective information processing in male violent offenders with psychopathic traits? Open
Antisocial and psychopathic individuals are characterized by a reduced responsivity to affective information. Yet, the role of attentional processes as possible modulator of these deficits is poorly understood. The current study investigat…

Intact prioritization of fearful faces during continuous flash suppression in psychopathy Open
Affective state recognition and in particular the identification of fear is known to be impaired in psychopathy. It is unclear, however, whether this reflects a deficit in basic perception (‘fear blindness’) or a deficit in later cognitive…

An inverse-linear logistic model of the main sequence Open
A model of the main sequence is proposed based on the logistic function. The model’s fit to the peak velocity-amplitude relation resembles an S curve, simulta- neously allowing control of the curve’s asymptotes at very small and very large…
