What did we find? Patients remembered and were more confident about the emotional and action-related (button-press) pictures. This suggests that emotional and behavioral engagement enhance memory encoding and metacognitive judgments.

Specifically, we used a combination of two tasks: One where patients we asked to press a button or not depending on the color of a frame around an emotional or neutral picture, and another where they had to recall those pictures and rate the confidence in their memory.

New paper from our group! What happens to patients that are later diagnosed as having functional seizures when they present to the emergency room? We found: There clearly is room for improvement! jnnp.bmj.com/content/earl... @popkirov.bsky.social #neuroscience
