  • context aware Experience sampling reveals the scale of variation in Affective Experience
    Scientific Reports, 2020
    Co-Authors: Katie Hoemann, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Zulqarnain Khan, Mallory J Feldman, Catie Nielson, Madeleine Devlin, Jolie B Wormwood, Karen S Quigley
    Abstract:

    Emotion research typically searches for consistency and specificity in physiological activity across instances of an emotion category, such as anger or fear, yet studies to date have observed more variation than expected. In the present study, we adopt an alternative approach, searching inductively for structure within variation, both within and across participants. Following a novel, physiologically-triggered Experience sampling procedure, participants' self-reports and peripheral physiological activity were recorded when substantial changes in cardiac activity occurred in the absence of movement. Unsupervised clustering analyses revealed variability in the number and nature of patterns of physiological activity that recurred within individuals, as well as in the affect ratings and emotion labels associated with each pattern. There were also broad patterns that recurred across individuals. These findings support a constructionist account of emotion which, drawing on Darwin, proposes that emotion categories are populations of variable instances tied to situation-specific needs.

  • Involvement of Sensory Regions in Affective Experience: A Meta-Analysis.
    Frontiers in psychology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ajay B. Satpute, Jian Kang, Kevin C. Bickart, Helena Yardley, Tor D. Wager, Lisa Feldman Barrett
    Abstract:

    A growing body of work suggests that sensory processes may also contribute to Affective Experience. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of Affective Experiences driven through visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and somatosensory stimulus modalities including study contrasts that compared Affective stimuli to matched neutral control stimuli. We found, first, that limbic and paralimbic regions, including the amygdala, anterior insula, pre-supplementary motor area and portions of orbitofrontal cortex were consistently engaged across two or more modalities. Second, early sensory input regions in occipital, temporal, piriform, mid-insular, and primary sensory cortex were frequently engaged during Affective Experiences driven by visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and somatosensory inputs. A classification analysis demonstrated that the pattern of neural activity across a contrast map diagnosed the stimulus modality driving the Affective Experience. These findings suggest that Affective Experiences are constructed from activity that is distributed across limbic and paralimbic brain regions and also activity in sensory cortical regions.

  • Sex differences in the neural correlates of Affective Experience
    Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yoshiya Moriguchi, Alexandra Touroutoglou, Bradford C. Dickerson, Lisa Feldman Barrett
    Abstract:

    People believe that women are more emotionally intense than men, but the scientific evidence is equivocal. In this study, we tested the novel hypothesis that men and women differ in the neural correlates of Affective Experience, rather than in the intensity of neural activity, with women being more internally (interoceptively) focused and men being more externally (visually) focused. Adult men (n ¼ 17) and women (n ¼ 17) completed a functional magnetic resonance imaging study while viewing Affectively potent images and rating their moment-to-moment feelings of subjective arousal. We found that men and women do not differ overall in their intensity of moment-to-moment Affective Experiences when viewing evocative images, but instead, as predicted, women showed a greater association between the momentary arousal ratings and neural responses in the anterior insula cortex, which represents bodily sensations, whereas men showed stronger correlations between their momentary arousal ratings and neural responses in the visual cortex. Men also showed enhanced functional connectivity between the dorsal anterior insula cortex and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which constitutes the circuitry involved with regulating shifts of attention to the world. These results demonstrate that the same Affective Experience is

  • Dissociable large-scale networks anchored in the right anterior insula subserve Affective Experience and attention.
    NeuroImage, 2012
    Co-Authors: Alexandra Touroutoglou, Bradford C. Dickerson, Mark Hollenbeck, Lisa Feldman Barrett
    Abstract:

    Meta-analytic summaries of neuroimaging studies point to at least two major functional-anatomic subdivisions within the anterior insula that contribute to the detection and processing of salient information: a dorsal region that is routinely active during attention tasks and a ventral region that is routinely active during Affective Experience. In two independent samples of cognitively normal human adults, we used intrinsic functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate that the right dorsal and right ventral anterior insula are nodes in separable large-scale functional networks. Furthermore, stronger intrinsic connectivity within the right dorsal anterior insula network was associated with better performance on a task involving attention and processing speed whereas stronger connectivity within the right ventral anterior insula network was associated with more intense Affective Experience. These results support the hypothesis that the identification and manipulation of salient information is subserved by at least two brain networks anchored in the right anterior insula that exhibit distinct large-scale topography and dissociable behavioral correlates.

  • the role of Affective Experience in work motivation test of a conceptual model
    Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2010
    Co-Authors: Myeong-gu Seo, Jean M. Bartunek, Lisa Feldman Barrett
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this paper was to contribute to understanding of the crucial role of emotion in work motivation by testing a conceptual model developed by Seo, Barrett, and Bartunek (2004) that predicted the impacts of core affect on three behavioral outcomes of work motivation, generative-defensive orientation, effort, and persistence. We tested the model using an Internet-based investment simulation combined with an Experience sampling procedure. Consistent with the predictions of the model, pleasantness was positively related to all three of the predicted indices. For the most part, these effects occurred indirectly via its relationships with expectancy, valence, and progress judgment components. Also as predicted by the model, activation was directly and positively related to effort. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • spatial and temporal cortical variability track with age and Affective Experience during emotion regulation in youth
    Developmental Psychology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Joao Guassi F Moreira, Katie A Mclaughlin, Jennifer A Silvers
    Abstract:

    Author(s): Guassi Moreira, Joao F; McLaughlin, Katie A; Silvers, Jennifer A | Abstract: Variability is a fundamental feature of human brain activity that is particularly pronounced during development. However, developmental neuroimaging research has only recently begun to move beyond characterizing brain function exclusively in terms of magnitude of neural activation to incorporate estimates of variability. No prior neuroimaging study has done so in the domain of emotion regulation. We investigated how age and Affective Experiences relate to spatial and temporal variability in neural activity during emotion regulation. In the current study, 70 typically developing youth aged 8 to 17 years completed a cognitive reappraisal task of emotion regulation while undergoing functional MRI. Estimates of spatial and temporal variability during regulation were calculated across a network of brain regions, defined a priori, and were then related to age and Affective Experiences. Results showed that increasing age was associated with reduced spatial and temporal variability in a set of frontoparietal regions (e.g., dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, superior parietal lobule) known to be involved in effortful emotion regulation. In addition, youth who reported less negative affect during regulation had less spatial variability in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, which has previously been linked to cognitive reappraisal. We interpret age-related reductions in spatial and temporal variability as implying neural specialization. These results suggest that the development of emotion regulation is undergirded by a process of neural specialization and open a host of possibilities for incorporating neural variability into the study of emotion regulation development.

    Abstract:

    Variability is a fundamental feature of human brain activity that is particularly pronounced during development. However, developmental neuroimaging research has only recently begun to move beyond characterizing brain function across development exclusively in terms of magnitude of neural activation to incorporating estimates of variability. No prior neuroimaging study has done so in the domain of emotion regulation. We investigated how age and Affective Experiences influence spatial and temporal variability in neural activity during emotion regulation. In the current study, 70 typically developing youth aged 8-17 years completed a cognitive reappraisal task of emotion regulation while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging.

  • Intersubject representational similarity analysis reveals individual variations in Affective Experience when watching erotic movies
    NeuroImage, 2020
    Co-Authors: Pin-hao A. Chen, Eshin Jolly, Jin Hyun Cheong, Luke J. Chang
    Abstract:

    Abstract We spend much of our lives pursuing or avoiding Affective Experiences. However, surprisingly little is known about how these Experiences are represented in the brain and if they are shared across individuals. Here, we explored variations in the construction of an Affective Experience during a naturalistic viewing paradigm based on subjective preferences in sociosexual desire and self-control using intersubject representational similarity analysis (IS-RSA). We found that when watching erotic movies, intersubject variations in sociosexual desire preferences of 26 heterosexual males were associated with similarly structured fluctuations in the cortico-striatal reward, default mode, and mentalizing networks. In contrast, variations in the self-control preferences were associated with shared dynamics in the fronto-parietal executive control and cingulo-insular salience networks. Importantly, these results were specific to the Affective Experience, as we did not observe any relationship with variation in preferences when individuals watched neutral movies. Moreover, these results appear to require multivariate representations of preferences as we did not observe any significant associations using single scalar summary scores. Our findings indicate that multidimensional variations in individual preferences can be used to uncover unique dimensions of an Affective Experience, and that IS-RSA can provide new insights into the neural processes underlying psychological Experiences elicited through naturalistic experimental designs.

  • endogenous variation in ventromedial prefrontal cortex state dynamics during naturalistic viewing reflects Affective Experience
    bioRxiv, 2018
    Co-Authors: Luke J. Chang, Pin-hao A. Chen, Eshin Jolly, Jin Hyun Cheong, Kristina M Rapuano, Nathan Greenstein, Jeremy R Manning
    Abstract:

    How we process ongoing Experiences is shaped by our personal history, current needs, and future goals. Consequently, brain regions involved in generating these subjective appraisals, such as the vmPFC, often appear to be heterogeneous across individuals even in response to the same external information. To elucidate the role of the vmPFC in processing our ongoing Experiences, we developed a computational framework and analysis pipeline to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of individual vmPFC responses as participants viewed a 45-minute television drama. Through a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging, facial expression tracking, and self-reported emotional Experiences across four studies, our data suggest that the vmPFC slowly transitions through a series of discretized states that broadly map onto Affective Experiences. Although these transitions typically occur at idiosyncratic times across people, participants exhibited a marked increase in state alignment during high Affectively valenced events in the show. Our work suggests that the vmPFC ascribes Affective meaning to our ongoing Experiences.
