Psychology of Moral and Emotional Judgment

Neural signatures of harm aversion predict later willingness to exert effort for others rewards

The paper shows that neural responses to harm in one task predict prosocial effort in another, linking moral sensitivity to prosocial motivation.

Disgust propensity, not disgust sensitivity, shapes the reactivity of a subjective disgust circuit in humans

This study investigates how disgust propensity and sensitivity influence neural responses to disgust stimuli, finding that propensity, not sensitivity, modulates activity in key brain regions.

Four-dimensional neural space for moral inference

The paper identifies four moral dimensions and their neural correlates during intuitive moral inference using fMRI and consensus clustering.

Making Moral Decisions With Artificial Agents As Advisors. An fNIRS Study

This study examines how AI-advisors influencing moral decisions via utilitarian or deontological arguments affect human decision-making and neural activity, finding increased response times and reduced prefrontal cortex activity with deontological arguments.

Common and distinct neurofunctional representations of core and social disgust in the brain: Coordinate-based and network meta-analyses

This study identifies common and distinct brain networks for core and social disgust using meta-analyses, showing shared and specialized regions.

Response time modelling reveals evidence for multiple, distinct sources of moral decision caution

This study uses response time modeling to show that moral decision caution is influenced by moral valence and context expectancy, with distinct cognitive processes underlying each effect.

Neuro-Computational Foundations of Moral Preferences

This study challenges the common-currency hypothesis by showing distinct neural representations for moral and financial values in specific brain regions.

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying immoral decisions benefiting self or others

The paper investigates how neural mechanisms differ when making immoral decisions that benefit oneself versus others, finding distinct brain activity patterns in prefrontal regions.

The human brain views selfish behaviour towards genetic vs. non-genetic sibling differently

This study shows that knowledge of genetic relationships modulates brain activity during moral dilemmas involving siblings.
