The processing bias for threatening cues revealed by event-related potential and event-related oscillation analyses
J Sun, B Sun, B Wang, H Gong - Neuroscience, 2012 - Elsevier
The processing bias of threat is crucial for survival. However, the neurophysiological
underpinnings of this bias are not fully understood. To contribute to a better understanding of …

Top-down modulation of attention by emotion
A Mohanty, TJ Sussman - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Due to their evolutionary salience, threatrelated stimuli, such as snakes, spiders, and angry
faces constitute a special class of stimuli believed to capture attention in an involuntary …

Experiential, autonomic, and neural responses during threat anticipation vary as a function of threat intensity and neuroticism
EM Drabant, JR Kuo, W Ramel, J Blechert, MD Edge… - Neuroimage, 2011 - Elsevier

Interactions between transient and sustained neural signals support the generation and regulation of anxious emotion
Anxious emotion can manifest on brief (threat response) and/or persistent (chronic
apprehension and arousal) timescales, and prior work has suggested that these signals are …

Attentional bias in high-and low-anxious individuals: Evidence for threat-induced effects on engagement and disengagement
SAA Massar, NM Mol, JL Kenemans… - Cognition & …, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Attentional bias to threatening visual stimuli (words or pictures) is commonly present in
anxious individuals, but not in non-anxious people. There is evidence to show that …

The impact of induced anxiety on response inhibition
Anxiety has wide reaching effects on cognition; evidenced most prominently by the
“difficulties concentrating” seen in anxiety disorders, and by adaptive harm-avoidant …

Frontal and parietal EEG asymmetries interact to predict attentional bias to threat
Frontal and parietal electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetries mark vulnerability to
depression and anxiety. Drawing on cognitive theories of vulnerability, we hypothesise that …

Brief report time course of attentional bias for threat scenes: testing the vigilance‐avoidance hypothesis
The study tested the vigilance‐avoidance hypothesis, which proposes that anxiety‐related
attentional biases vary over time (ie, initial vigilance for high threat cues, followed by …
