This study investigates how the brain generalizes emotions across individuals, finding that the insula encodes emotions and persons separately, enabling cross-person generalization.

The paper shows that the insula uses overlapping neural patterns for recognizing self and others' emotions, while other regions use different patterns.

This paper investigates neural mechanisms of emotion processing bias in treatment-resistant depression using sEEG data from patients and controls, finding altered amygdala and prefrontal cortex activity patterns and their modulation by deep brain stimulation.

The paper uses intracranial EEG to analyze spectral features in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, revealing hemispheric specialization for valence and intensity processing and showing causal effects of stimulation on emotional face perception.
