Cardiac cycle affects the asymmetric value updating in instrumental reward learning

This study shows that cardiac cycle phase influences asymmetric value updating in instrumental reward learning, with higher learning rates for positive prediction errors during systole.

Brain-heart dynamics during emotional processing under uncertain conditions: An index of depression risk

This study examines how depression risk affects brain-heart interactions during emotional processing under uncertainty, finding that higher risk is linked to reduced neural anticipation and heightened physiological responses to negative stimuli.

Self-body recognition through a mirror: Easing spatial-consistency requirements for rubber hand illusion

This study investigates how using a mirror affects the rubber hand illusion by reducing spatial incongruency and enhancing multisensory integration for body ownership.

Quantification of anticipation of excitement with three-axial model of emotion with EEG

The paper introduces a three-axial model of emotion to quantify anticipatory excitement using EEG data from participants viewing emotional stimuli.

Disruption by virtual reality of the cortical oscillations related to visuotactile integration during an embodiment process

The paper compares EEG oscillatory activities during a rubber hand illusion in real and virtual reality environments, finding no significant differences in VR, suggesting VR alters sensory integration mechanisms.
