The neural representations of emotional experiences are more similar than those of neutral experiences
Stimuli that evoke the same feelings can nevertheless look different and have different
semantic meanings. Although we know much about the neural representation of emotion …

[HTML][HTML] Similar brains blend emotion in similar ways: Neural representations of individual difference in emotion profiles
Our daily emotional experience is a complex construct that usually involves multiple
emotions blended in a context-dependent manner. However, the co-occurring and context …

Intersubject representational similarity analysis uncovers the impact of state anxiety on brain activation patterns in the human extrastriate cortex
The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and showed that state
anxiety modulated extrastriate cortex activity in response to emotionally-charged visual …

The differential similarity of positive and negative information–an affect-induced processing outcome?
People judge positive information to be more alike than negative information. This good-bad
asymmetry in similarity was argued to constitute a true property of the information ecology …
