Multivoxel Pattern Analysis Reveals Dissociations Between Subjective Fear and Its Physiological Correlates

Abstract: I n studies of anxiety and other affective disorders, objectively measured physiological responses have commonly been used as a proxy for measuring subjective experiences associated with pathology. However, this commonly adopted 'biosignal' approach has recently been called into question on the grounds that subjective experiences and objective physiological responses may dissociate. We performed machine-learning based analysis on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to assess this issue in the cas… Show more

“…4d, see also Supplementary Results and Supplementary Fig. 7) in the combined validation and prospective generalization datasets (Study 9, n = 65), demonstrating that the SUITAS captured autonomic arousal to some extent but with a smaller effect size, which is in line with previous studies on the dissociation between subjective fear experience and its physiological correlates 66 . Further evidence arguing against the effect of nonspecific negative arousal can be found below ('Comparing the SUITAS with the predictive models of fear exposure and nonspecific negative affect').…”

“…Consistent model weights associated with subjective anxious arousal were observed in the aINS, thalamus, ACC, somatosensory cortices and IOG, while the within-individual models additionally revealed consistent contributions of aMCC, precuneus, PCC, putamen, precentral gyrus and SMA to predict momentary trial-bytrial variations. No single brain region or network was sufficient for accurately predicting anxious experience, underscoring that conscious emotional experiences require a distributed neural representation 10,21,33,52,75,76 2,78,79 . However, how varying levels of uncertainty impact the subjective experience of threat anticipation remained unknown.…”
