Emotionally salient aspects of the world are experienced with greater perceptual vividness
than mundane ones; however, such emotionally enhanced vividness (EEV) may be …

It is well-known that emotionally salient events are remembered more vividly than mundane
ones. Our recent research has demonstrated that such memory vividness (Mviv) is due in …

Emotionally arousing events reach awareness more easily and evoke greater visual cortex
activation than more mundane events. Recent studies have shown that they are also …

The rapid extraction of affective cues from the visual environment is crucial for flexible
behavior. Previous studies have reported emotion-dependent amplitude modulations of two …

Studies using emotionally salient stimuli have demonstrated neural activation in limbic and
paralimbic brain regions. In some studies, subjects passively perceive evocative stimuli …

Emotionally enhanced memory and susceptibility to intrusive memories after trauma have
been linked to a deletion variant (ie, a form of a gene in which certain amino acids are …

Highly emotional events are associated with vivid “flashbulb” memories. Here we examine
whether the flashbulb metaphor characterizes a previously unknown emotion-enhanced …

During aesthetically appealing visual experiences, visual content provides a basis for
computation of affectively tinged representations of aesthetic value. How this happens in the …

Affectively salient stimuli are capable of capturing attentional resources which allow the
brain to change the current course of action in order to respond to potentially advantageous …

Many neuroscience studies have demonstrated that the human amygdala is a central
element in the neural workspace that computes affective value. Emerging evidence …
