1. EEG Signatures Support a Shrinking Spotlight of Attention After Errors.
PMID:日期:2026-10Errors inhibit attainment of our goals, but there are many ways to get back on track: from increased caution to heightened attention. In this report we examined EEG signatures of control and perception in 21 participants who completed a luminance-varying flanker task. Hierarchical Sequential Sample Modeling with a shrinking spotlight model was used for algorithmic decomposition of post-error adjustments. Control-related changes included a relationship between frontal midline theta power and raised decision threshold, as well as faster drift rate. Yet contrary to our hypothesis, these relationships were not significantly modulated following an error. Perceptual changes elicited by the luminance manipulation scaled with posterior alpha/beta power; both these extrinsic and intrinsic features loaded on an enhanced drift rate. Most importantly, after an error, this relationship between alpha/beta power and drift rate was enhanced. These findings support separate roles of neural systems in adaptive control: midfrontal regions were linked to generic control, whereas sensory-specific mechanisms of attentional adjustment were specifically recruited to boost evidence accumulation when control is needed.

2. Temporal Dynamics of Visual Awareness as a Function of the Level of Processing of the Stimulus and Report Requirements: An ERP Study.
PMID:日期:2026-10Recent evidence suggests that the stimulus level of processing (LoP) modulates the two event-related potential (ERP) correlates of visual awareness-the visual awareness negativity (VAN) and late positivity (LP)-yet it remains unclear whether LoP also affects their temporal dynamics. In addition, recent studies using no-report paradigms have raised doubts about whether the LP constitutes a genuine correlate of awareness. In this study, we examined the ERP correlates of visual awareness and its temporal dynamics as a function of stimulus level of processing (LoP) and report condition (report vs. no-report). In the report condition, participants performed either a low-level (color: blue vs. red) or high-level (category: animal vs. object) discrimination task and indicated whether they had seen the target. In the no-report condition, they counted occurrences of a task-irrelevant but LoP-congruent stimulus. We computed the VAN and LP by pooling aware and unaware trials within each condition. The VAN component was absent in both tasks and report condition, likely influenced by early sensory activity and variations in stimulus-mask SOA. The LP was clearly visible across conditions, yet its amplitude was not modulated by the LoP. Critically, significant LP components were observed in both report and no-report conditions; although attenuated and slightly delayed in no-report trials, the LP remained present. This pattern replicates previous findings showing that the LP/P3 is sensitive to post-perceptual task demands yet also shows that it may persist even when response-related processes are removed. These findings suggest that late post-VAN activity may not correspond to a single unified ERP component but rather reflect a combination of post-perceptual processes and aspects of conscious stimulus evaluation.

3. Blunted Neural Error Monitoring Amplifies the Adverse Effect of Childhood Maltreatment on Depressive Symptoms: Time-Domain and Time-Frequency Analysis.
PMID:日期:2026-10Performance monitoring (PM) has been suggested as a promising cognitive factor to explain individual differences in the association between early maltreatment and depression, yet evidence remains limited. From a monitoring vs. executive perspective, this study thus comprehensively examined whether and how the neurophysiological (ERN and its time-frequency decomposition components) and behavioral (posterror accuracy) indicators of PM interacted with childhood maltreatment on young adult depressive symptoms. A total of 192 Chinese university students (M = 21.08 ± 1.91 years; 59.4% girls) completed self-report questionnaires and an Eriksen Flanker task while EEG activity was recorded. The results showed that blunted vs. heightened ERN and error-related delta were more likely to amplify the adverse effect of childhood maltreatment, especially emotional neglect, on young adult depressive symptoms. However, error-related theta and posterror accuracy did not show such interaction effects. The findings showed strong robustness across a series of sensitivity analyses. The results provide preliminary evidence that blunted error monitoring but not executive ability, reflected by ERN and error-related delta, may be a neurobiological moderator that underlies maltreatment-related depression, which deepens the cognitive control underpinnings of depression. However, given the high-functioning sample, caution is warranted when generalizing these findings in high-risk clinical samples.

4. The Electrocardiogram-Based Phase Adjustment Task (PAT-ECG): An Open-Access Laboratory Test of Cardiac Interoceptive Accuracy.
PMID:日期:2026-10Interoceptive accuracy plays a central role in theories of emotion, and atypical interoceptive accuracy is increasingly recognized as a feature in the pathophysiology of multiple clinical and subclinical conditions. However, existing methods for assessing interoceptive accuracy have limitations that may constrain research progress. This study presents the first electrocardiogram-based implementation of the phase adjustment task (PAT-ECG), a rigorous measure of cardiac interoceptive accuracy, and provides the materials and experimental code for its use. Similar to existing PAT implementations, the task presents tones at each participant's heart rate and requires them to adjust the phase of the tone to synchronize it with their heartbeats. Crucially, this implementation replaces the photoplethysmographic signal used in previous implementations with ECG, enabling superior temporal resolution and more precise triggering via the R-wave peak. We additionally introduce a novel phase-delay timing procedure during task execution and explore new data-analytic approaches. Data from 91 participants are used to demonstrate the task, and eight options for classifying individuals as interoceptive or non-interoceptive are evaluated. Seventeen percent of participants were classified as interoceptive at rest via PAT-ECG. Findings extend evidence for distinct variable-period and fixed-period interoceptive pathways. Weighting trials by confidence ratings further influenced interoceptive accuracy scores. The original PAT represented a significant advancement in cardiac interoceptive accuracy assessment; this open-access ECG-based implementation extends PAT methodological precision, providing an even more rigorous assessment tool for further advancing interoception theories and research.

5. Delivery and Attitude Modulate Shared Neural Processing of Speech Through Distinct Frequency Channels.
PMID:日期:2026-09-29Listeners' brains align when they attend to the same speech, but what determines how strongly they align is not well understood. We asked whether that alignment tracks the communicative relation between a listener and a message, manipulating it from the speaker's side and from the listener's, and bounding the account with a manipulation that alters the social setting while leaving the relation intact. In two magnetoencephalography experiments, we measured inter-subject correlation of band-limited envelopes, which resolves shared processing by frequency rather than treating it as a single quantity. In Study 1, 40 listeners watched the same actor deliver the same speech charismatically and non-charismatically, so that content and identity were held constant. Charismatic delivery raised correlation most strongly in the beta band, and after regression of the acoustic and visual features, the surviving effect was concentrated in right perisylvian cortex. In Study 2, listeners read a favorable or unfavorable description of a speaker they had never encountered and watched a second speaker either with or without a minimal cue that an audience was present. A newly formed attitude raised correlation in alpha and theta within the same right perisylvian region, whereas the audience cue, which left both the message and the listener's disposition unchanged, produced no detectable change in any band. Correlation also proved partly dispositional: how strongly a listener synchronized on one task predicted their synchrony on the other, specifically in alpha and independently of personality. Delivery and attitude thus converge on a common substrate for the speaker's expressive signal, reaching it through separate frequency channels.

6. Social Anxiety Predicts Enhanced Electrocortical Sensitivity to the Mental State Meanings Revealed by Gaze Patterns.
6. 社交焦虑预测个体对目光模式所揭示的心理状态含义具有增强的电皮层敏感性PMID:日期:2026-09-29Social anxiety-a fear of social interaction and negative evaluation-may be accompanied by heightened vigilance toward others' mental states, particularly those conveyed through gaze, as they provide cues about how one is being evaluated. We thus investigated whether individual differences in social anxiety predict neural sensitivity to the mental-state meanings conveyed by gaze patterns. Fifty-seven European American young adults varying in social anxiety viewed different gaze patterns, immediately followed by a mental-state word that was either congruent or incongruent with the culturally recognized meaning of the gaze, while their electroencephalogram (EEG) was monitored. Our focus was N400-an event-related potential (ERP) component indexing semantic expectation violations. We found the N400 amplitude to be more negative for incongruent (vs. congruent) mental-state words. Notably, this N400 incongruity effect increased significantly with social anxiety. Moreover, the social anxiety effect was specific to mental state inference and was not observed in a comparable N400 incongruity effect involving animal stereotypes (n = 50). These findings suggest that social anxiety may confer enhanced neural sensitivity during the inference of others' mental states from gaze, even in the absence of overt performance differences. We discuss the implications of these findings with respect to the potential functional benefits of social anxiety.

7. Electrocortical and Physiological Correlates of Memory and Attention During the Anticipation of Avoidable and Inevitable Threats.
7. 在预期可避免和不可避免威胁期间记忆与注意的电皮层和生理相关性PMID:日期:2026-09-28When confronted with danger, humans display a range of defensive behaviors, such as freezing and active avoidance. Prior research has identified a distinct physiological response pattern to avoidable threats, characterized by heart rate bradycardia, reduced visual exploration, and suppressed visual alpha activity (8-13 Hz), all of which are associated with faster flight responses. While this pattern indicates an adaptive state of attentive immobility, it is largely unclear how this state influences the encoding of explicit threat-related memories. Clarifying these mechanisms seems important to understand the processes contributing to the formation of pathological fear memories. To address this question, we recorded parieto-occipital alpha activity, eye movements, and autonomic responses in 60 participants during anticipation of either an avoidable threat, an inevitable threat, or no threat, while viewing images of various facial identities. In a subsequent memory task, participants were asked to recognize previously seen faces among novel ones. Results showed enhanced suppression of alpha activity during avoidable threats, accompanied by heart rate bradycardia, centralized gaze, and increased sympathetic arousal. However, these responses were not linked to memory encoding. Instead, memory effects were associated with reduced pupillary responses, heightened visual exploration, and decreased alpha activity, particularly in occipitotemporal regions. Together, these findings suggest that when individuals face avoidable threats, they enter a state of attentive immobility that enhances perceptual processing and prepares them for action but does not extend to improved memory encoding.

8. Altering Affective Responses and Emotional Reactivity Through Acute Bouts of Aerobic Exercise With and Without Mindfulness.
8. 通过急性和正念有氧运动改变情感反应和情绪反应性PMID:日期:2026-09Although the beneficial effects of acute aerobic exercise (AE) and mindfulness (MF) on emotional well-being are well-documented, whether these two intervention modalities can be combined to maximize these benefits remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effect of AE and MF on affective responses and emotional reactivity. Using a within-subject crossover design, self-reported affect was assessed from 30 adults (15 male) aged 18-25 before and after a 30 min session of mindful AE (MF-AE), non-mindful AE (NM-AE), and seated rest on three separate days in counterbalanced order. Following each intervention, emotional reactivity was measured by the late positive potential (LPP) of event-related potential (ERP) during a computerized picture-viewing task consisting of neutral and pleasant/unpleasant emotional content. Analysis indicated no between-condition differences in affect at the pretest, while there was increased positive affect for MF-AE and NM-AE conditions compared with rest at posttest. Although LPP amplitudes did not differ between conditions, greater negative (LPP-LPP) compared to positive (LPP-LPP) emotional reactivity was observed with small-to-moderate and moderate-to-larger effect sizes following the NM-AE and rest conditions, respectively. However, this reactivity-related difference was absent following the MF-AE condition. Subsequent analyses indicated reduced dominance of negative reactivity during both the early (400-1200 ms) and later (1200-2000 ms) post-stimulus windows following the MF-AE condition, while this mitigation effect emerged only during the later window following the NM-AE condition. In addition to the AE-induced acute benefits to self-reported affective outcomes, performing MF during AE may accelerate the elimination of the tendency in reacting to negative emotion-eliciting stimuli.

9. The Short-Term Versus Long-Term Effects of Acceptance and Moderation by Stimulus Arousal Level.
9. 刺激唤醒水平对接纳与调节的短期与长期效应对比PMID:日期:2026-09Negative emotion down-regulation strategies vary in the depth of emotional engagement they entail, which may lead to different short- versus longer-term effects. Acceptance is an emotion regulation strategy in which an individual allows emotions to be present without letting them fuse with the self or overwhelm their experience. Acceptance involves a relatively deep level of emotional processing but has been understudied compared to other engaged strategies. In particular, it is unknown whether acceptance is subject to the same moderators (e.g., stimulus arousal level) and how this might vary in the short versus longer term. Here, participants (n = 79) accepted or viewed low- and high-arousing negative pictures. Immediately after, a subset of participants (n = 33) viewed the same pictures, without instructions to regulate. In the first task, acceptance reduced the late positive potential (LPP) to low-, but not high-arousing pictures only early on during picture presentation. Additionally, acceptance reduced arousal ratings for both low- and high-arousing pictures. In the second task, previously accepted low- and high-arousing pictures elicited smaller LPPs than previously viewed pictures, with this effect emerging more quickly for low-arousing pictures. Arousal and valence ratings did not differ between previously accepted versus viewed pictures. Therefore, although acceptance may be less effective at reducing the motivational salience of high-arousing stimuli in the short term, it leads to longer-term reductions in electrocortical processing of both low- and high-arousing pictures. Results extend the engagement-disengagement framework to include acceptance, suggesting that it shares strengths and weaknesses with other engaged emotion regulation strategies.

10. Toward an Understanding of the Psychological Meaning of Physiological Synchrony.
PMID:日期:2026-09Physiological synchrony-coordinated changes in physiological activity between individuals-is a frequently studied yet variably interpreted phenomenon in psychological science. Decades of research show that physiological synchrony is ubiquitous across relationship and social contexts, but consensus remains elusive about what it means psychologically. We advance an inferential framework for mapping observed synchrony to warranted psychological conclusions by importing classical principles of psychophysiological inference into the interpersonal domain. Building on Cacioppo and Tassinary's logic of inference, we treat physiological synchrony as an empirical pattern whose meaning depends on three constraints: specificity (which psychological processes remain plausible given the physiological pattern and plausible alternatives), generality (the contexts, relationships, and timescales over which an interpretation should hold), and sensitivity (detectability of the theoretically relevant dynamics given measurement and modeling choices). We ground these constraints in principles of autonomic organization, emphasizing how physiological ambiguity and modes of control shape what synchrony can and cannot mean. We use established approaches to pattern-based psychophysiological inference, including autonomic modes (i.e., configurations of sympathetic-parasympathetic control) and the biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat, to illustrate how multivariate physiological profiles and theoretically relevant contextual information can constrain psychological interpretation. We further argue that model class is an inferential commitment: choices about sampling rate, observation window, preprocessing, and whether coupling is modeled as contemporaneous, lagged, or dynamical determine which forms of coordination are detectable and which interpersonal processes remain viable candidates for interpretation. By integrating contemporary synchrony approaches within this inferential framework, we provide conceptual and methodological guidance for clarifying when physiological synchrony supports strong psychological inference and for specifying the boundary conditions under which those interpretations should generalize.
