“…Hence, whatever the effects of each cognitive task on self-pain, similar effects were present also for the observation of others’ painful expression, thus providing strong support to the Embodied account. Interestingly, neuroimaging literature has extensively investigated Embodied accounts by quantifying the neural response to others’ pain through fMRI 71 , 72 or EEG 73 , 74 , and its similarity with that of self-pain 21 . One prediction for follow-up research would be that cognitive exertion might decrease the responsiveness of a shared component of one’s and others’ neural response to pain.…”

Correctly evaluating others’ pain is a crucial prosocial ability. In both clinical and private settings, caregivers assess their other people’s pain, sometimes under the effect of poor sleep and high workload and fatigue. However, the effect played by such cognitive strain in the appraisal of others’ pain remains unclear. Fifty participants underwent one of two demanding tasks, involving either working memory (Experiment 1: N-Back task) or cognitive interference (Experiment 2: Stroop task). After each task, participants were exposed to painful laser stimulations at three intensity levels (low, medium, high), or video-clips of patients experiencing three intensity levels of pain (low, medium, high). Participants rated the intensity of each pain event on a visual analogue scale. We found that the two tasks influenced rating of both one’s own and others’ pain, by decreasing the sensitivity to medium and high events. This was observed either when comparing the demanding condition to a control (Stroop), or when modelling linearly the difficulty/performance of each depleting task (N-Back). We provide converging evidence that cognitive exertion affects the subsequent appraisal of one’s own and likewise others’ pain.

“…The N2 wave's amplitude varied with emotional valences, being higher in extreme negativity than moderate. The N2 component, linked to attention orientation, responds more to negative emotions, redirecting attention to signi cant events 34 . The experiment observed a transition from unconscious processing in the P2 phase to conscious attention in the N2 phase, where the brain evaluates emotional stimulus characteristics, focusing more on higher negativity as indicated by increased amplitudes.…”

Method Employing the "Chinese College Students' Psychological Stress Scale," 47 high-stress students were divided into a 25-member experimental group and a 22-member control group. The experimental group engaged in 40-minute group rope-jumping exercises thrice weekly for 12 weeks, following ACSM guidelines. A dual-choice Oddball task assessed the exercise intervention's impact on negative emotions. Results: (1) Post-intervention, the experimental group exhibited no significant change in reaction time to negative stimuli (p > 0.05); (2) The group experienced a notable reduction in negative reaction cost post-intervention (p < 0.05); (3) Significant variances were observed in P2, N2, and P3 waveform average amplitude and latency in main condition effects (p < 0.05); (4) Under negative conditions, the control group had shorter N2 latency (p < 0.05), higher P3 amplitude (p < 0.05), and shorter P3 latency (p < 0.05) than the experimental group. Conclusion: Physical exercise intervention enhances conflict inhibition abilities in individuals with high psychological stress. However, the neurophysiological responses to varying emotional stimulus intensities are more pronounced in these students.

“…Beberapa studi yang menggunakan fMRI mengemukakan korelasi yang kuat antara berkurangnya aktivitas mirror neuron dengan meningkatnya gejala autisme. Penemuan tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menyusun strategi intervensi berbasis mirror neuron bagi anak autism [50], [51], [52]. Beberapa area yang berhubungan dengan fungsi kognitif, seperti Theory of Mind, empati, sensasi, bahasa, dan perkembangan dalam konteks autisme masih memerlukan penelitian lanjutan untuk mengemukakan hubungan kausal dengan sistem mirror neuron.…”

Humans are essentially created as social creatures and need each other to interact with each other. Human life coexists with other humans, so social interaction cannot be avoided. As humans, we must be sensitive and respectful of each other. One of the social interaction capitals is the ability to empathize. Empathy can be defined as when an individual can feel what others feel, and this can be explained from a neuroscience perspective. The mirror neuron is one of the small parts of the brain that has the primary function as a mirror within the individual, in other words it is the center of the process where empathy occurs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the function of mirror neurons that are closely related to human empathy processes and the damage or dysfunction that occurs in it. Through literature studies, it is known that the mirror neurons are located in some parts of brain structures; in the premotor area and the lower parietal cortex. Mirror neurons generally project events around the individuals so the emotions and such behaviors are felt by the individuals. The lack of empathy experienced by some individuals with psychopathy as well as difficulty in understanding situations or responding to social cues in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can be due to the dysfunction in mirror neurons. However, mirror neurons dysfunction still requires further research to be able to understand the role of mirror neurons in various aspects of mental processes and human behavior.
