An integrated biobehavioral study of empathy

This study integrates behavioral, neural, and genetic data to show that biobehavioral factors jointly predict emotional empathy but not cognitive empathy.

INFLUENCE OF PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME ON ATTENTIONAL CAPTURE BY EXPRESSIONS IN THE LUTEAL PHASE

This study investigates whether premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects attentional capture by emotional faces during the luteal phase, finding no significant effect but confirming emotional stimuli consistently capture attention.

Emotional Distractors Capture Attention even at Very Low Contrast Levels: ERP evidence

The paper investigates whether emotional distractors capture attention at low contrast levels using ERP data, finding that emotional stimuli still influence attentional processing across all contrast levels.

An extremely fast neural mechanism to detect emotional visual stimuli: A two-experiment study

The paper investigates the neural mechanisms of emotional visual stimulus evaluation using ERPs, finding faster and more significant N40 responses to negative stimuli.

Menstrual cycle and exogenous attention toward emotional expressions

This study investigates exogenous attention to emotional facial expressions across menstrual cycle phases in women without PMS, finding no phase-emotion interaction in behavioral or ERP measures.

Fast unconscious processing of emotional stimuli in early stages of the visual cortex

The paper investigates the timing of unconscious emotional processing by analyzing ERP responses to subliminal stimuli and finds faster processing at fixation for emotional stimuli.
