Published: April 2016

Emotions are powerful drivers of distortions in time perception. Recent work continues to support arousal and attentional mechanisms of emotion-driven temporal distortions. A possible memory-related mechanism and various modulatory factors, such as age, gender, and psychopathology, have also been implicated in such distortions. Beyond the rich behavioral literature on this topic, neurobiological substrates associated with emotion-driven temporal distortions have begun to be identified and represent an important next step for research within this domain. The study of emotion-driven temporal distortions holds great promise for advancing our understanding of this perceptual phenomenon and how it may play a functional role in mediating changes in cognition, behavior, and emotion.

Utilizing deep features from electroencephalography (EEG) data for emotional music composition provides a novel approach for creating personalized and emotionally rich music. Compared to textual data, converting continuous EEG and music data into discrete units presents significant challenges, particularly the lack of a clear and fixed vocabulary for standardizing EEG and audio data. The lack of this standard makes the mapping relationship between EEG signals and musical elements (such as rhythm, melody, and emotion) blurry and complex.

An Emotion-Driven Vocal Biomarker-Based PTSD Screening Tool.

IEEE Open J Eng Med Biol

June 2023

MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) Lexington MA 02421 USA.

This paper introduces an automated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening tool that could potentially be used as a self-assessment or inserted into routine medical visits to aid in PTSD diagnosis and treatment. With an emotion estimation algorithm providing arousal (excited to calm) and valence (pleasure to displeasure) levels through discourse, we select regions of the acoustic signal that are most salient for PTSD detection. Our algorithm was tested on a subset of data from the DVBIC-TBICoE TBI Study, which contains PTSD Check List Civilian (PCL-C) assessment scores.

Studies on emotion and its neurobiology have been far more focused on the recognition of emotion than on actions that are caused by emotional states. We investigate the performance of a patient, HS, with a unilateral lesion to the left temporal pole and orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) (including left amygdala), on a well-established approach/avoid task that taps into emotion-driven action. The striking finding of the present study is a remarkable, and selective, slowing of HS's avoidance of unpleasant items in her (impaired) contralesional field.

Norman Geschwind catalyzed academic interest in the study of interictal behavioral changes in temporal lobe epilepsy. His contributions to this area comprise a series of 11 articles, chapters, editorials, and commentaries published between 1973 and 1984. This article summarizes, both chronologically and by behavioral topic, Geschwind's contributions and opinions on behavioral changes in temporal lobe epilepsy.
