Happy to share a new publication showing stronger theta, alpha, and gamma responses to negative vs positive images. Alpha effects were in several primary and extended visual regions, while gamma effects were in parietal and pre-SMA cortex. See all results -> www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

NEW paper looking at oscillatory responses to affective faces.
some main findings:
Stronger beta for affective faces across visual regions.
Stronger gamma to angry faces in presupp motor cortex.

Oscillatory brain dynamics underlying affective face processing
Abstract. Facial expressions are ubiquitous and highly reliable social cues. Decades of research has shown that affective faces undergo facilitated process

Happy to share a new paper where we show, in later pubertal stages, using social media to make social comparisons relates to 1) weaker extended visual alpha, prefrontal beta power and 2) more symptoms of anxiety and attention problems.
