How do emotionally intelligent individuals react to other people’s emotions? A study on emotional and facial reactions Open
Background According to the hypersensitivity hypothesis, highly emotionally intelligent individuals perceive emotion information at a lower threshold, pay more attention to emotion information, and may be characterized by more intense emot…

The perception of gender in two allegedly sex-specific body odor compounds MSH and HMHA Open
3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (MSH) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid (HMHA) are two allegedly sexually dimorphic compounds present in human sweat. While MSH is more typically found in women, HMHA is more typically found in men. Here we …

Measuring the postauricular reflex as an indicator of appetitive processing Open
The postauricular reflex is a muscular microreflex behind the ear that is elicited by brief and abrupt sounds. Although it is vestigial in humans, it has been shown to have a potentiated response to the eliciting sound during the presentat…

Targeted Memory Reactivation During REM Sleep in Patients With Social Anxiety Disorder Open
Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by a significant amount of fear when confronted to social situations. Exposure therapy, which is based on fear extinction, does not often lead to full remission. Here, based on evid…

Targeted memory reactivation during REM sleep in patients with social anxiety disorder Open
Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by a significant amount of fear when confronted to social situations and can cause considerable distress in daily life. Exposure therapy, which is based on fear …

Different armpits under my new nose: olfactory sex but not gender affects implicit measures of embodiment Open
Research has shown that conflicting multisensory signals may alter embodiment to the point of self-identifying with a foreign body, but the role of olfaction in this process has been overlooked. Here, we study in healthy participants how s…

3D-Printed Pacifier-Shaped Mouthpiece for fMRI-Compatible Gustometers Open
Gustometers have made it possible to deliver liquids in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) settings for decades, and mouthpieces are a critical part of these taste delivery systems. Here, we propose an innovative 3D-printed fMRI …

Exogenous capture of visual spatial attention by olfactory-trigeminal stimuli Open
The extent to which a nasal whiff of scent can exogenously orient visual spatial attention remains poorly understood in humans. In a series of seven studies, we investigated the existence of an exogenous capture of visual spatial attention…

Differential contributions of ventral striatum subregions to the motivational and hedonic components of the affective processing of the reward Open
The ventral striatum is implicated in the affective processing of the reward, which can be divided into a motivational and a hedonic component. Here, we examined whether these two components rely on distinct neural substrates within the ve…

3D printed pacifier-shaped mouthpiece for fMRI-compatible gustometers Open
Gustometers have allowed the delivery of liquids in fMRI settings for decades and mouthpieces are a critical part of those taste delivery systems. Here we propose an innovative 3D printed mouthpiece inspired by children’s pacifiers that al…

A fascinating but risky case of reverse inference: From measures to emotions! Open
Inferring emotions based on accessible signals is a tendency that we have both as social individuals and as scientists. Academia and industry have developed methods and devices aimed at detecting specific emotions (e.g., joy, anger or fear…

Individual concerns modulate reward-related learning and behaviors involving sexual outcomes Open
Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning are fundamental processes helping organisms learn about stimuli that predict rewards in the environment and actions that lead to their obtainment. These two forms of learning and their interplay nota…

Sustained effects of pleasant and unpleasant smells on resting state brain activity Open
Research suggests that transient emotional episodes produces sustained effects on psychological functions and brain activity during subsequent resting state. In this fMRI study we investigated whether transient emotions induced by smells c…

Being Short, Sweet, and Sour: Congruent Visuo-Olfactory Stimulation Enhances Illusory Embodiment Open
Bodily self-identification has shown to be easily altered through spatiotemporally congruent multimodal signals. While such manipulations are mostly studied through visuo-tactile or visuo-motor stimulation, here we investigated whether con…

Interdisciplinary challenges for elucidating human olfactory attractiveness Open
Many species use chemicals to communicate. In humans, there is increasing evidence that chemicals conveyed by the body are extremely important in interpersonal relationships. However, many aspects of chemical communication remain to be exp…

Measuring Pavlovian appetitive conditioning in humans with the postauricular reflex Open
Despite its evolutionary and clinical significance, appetitive conditioning has been rarely investigated in humans. It has been proposed that this discrepancy might stem from the difficulty in finding suitable appetitive stimuli that elici…

Does Facial Amimia Impact the Recognition of Facial Emotions? An EMG Study in Parkinson’s Disease Open
According to embodied simulation theory, understanding other people's emotions is fostered by facial mimicry. However, studies assessing the effect of facial mimicry on the recognition of emotion are still controversial. In Parkinson's dis…
