Nocebo and pseudo-neglect: Paradoxical effects detected with eye-tracking
C Höfler, A Gremsl, A Schienle - International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2018 - Elsevier
The knowledge about effects of placebos and nocebos on specific visual attention
processes is still very limited. In the present eye-tracking study, it was analyzed if a nocebo
(sham transcranial magnetic stimulation) is able to elicit left-sided attentional deficits
(pseudo-neglect). Fifty-two healthy participants performed a search task on the computer,
once with and once without the nocebo. Indicators of left-biased search behavior (eg fixation
count, reaction times for left vs. right-sided target detection) and affective state (eg, valence …
