Assessing the association between the error-related ERPs and trait anxiety using mass univariate statistics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-28)Enhanced error monitoring, as reflected in increased amplitude of the error-related negativity (ERN) ERP component, has been suggested to be a vulnerability neuro-marker of anxiety disorders. However, the association between ... -
Effects of auditory context on face expression processing: An ERP Investigation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)Facial expressions of emotion are a critical source of social information within the environment, but their interpretation is seen to be modulated based on the situational context in which they are presented. Most empirical ... -
Examining the neural, behavioural, and social responses associated with affective self-referential processing in adults and children.
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-08)Information processing biases favouring self- compared to other-referential and positive compared to negative stimuli are theorized to be healthy, adaptive outcomes of well-regulated attention. Within the lab, self-referential ... -
An eye (region) sensitivity during early face perception: The N170 is modulated by facial context and featural fixation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)The N170 is a face-sensitive ERP component that also demonstrates a particular sensitivity to the eyes. Specifically, the N170 responds maximally to isolated eye regions (i.e., two eyes), as well as to eye fixations within ... -
Individual differences in recogn-eye-zing faces: Behavioural and neural underpinnings of face recognition in neurotypical and autistic adults
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-30)Attention to another’s eyes and face recognition are necessary building blocks for efficient social communication. Neurotypical adults show an attentional bias for the eye region and strong face recognition performance. ... -
The Influence of Gender and Sexual Prejudice on Empathic Responding
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-23)Although studies of the relationship between empathy and racial prejudice have become increasingly popular in recent years, there is comparatively little research on the potential relationship between empathy and sexual ... -
Neural Processing of Fearful and Happy Facial Expressions: Effects of Fixation to Facial Features and Task Demands
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-25)The current literature regarding the time course of facial expression processing is inconsistent and early emotion effects are debated. Facial expressions are well-known to be characterized by “diagnostic” facial features ... -
Perceiving direct and averted gaze during emotion discrimination, affective empathy and affective theory of mind judgements: electrophysiological and behavioural effects
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-05)Our observations about the eye-gaze of others inform how we interact with them. Perception of direct gaze has been shown to impact emotional and self-referential processing differently than perception of averted gaze, which ... -
The time-course of contextual valence and self-relevance effects on the perception of faces with direct versus averted gaze
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)We see faces every day within a rich situational context. Previous ERP research has demonstrated that priming faces with contextual sentences varying in self-relevance and valence alters electrocortical and emotional ...
