“…Previous studies utilizing rapid picture presentations have found that emotionally significant stimuli consistently modulate both an early, as well as a late ERP component [1,3]. These results were replicated in the present study: pictures that were pleasant or unpleasant prompted greater EPN and LPP amplitudes compared to neutral pictures.…”

“…The EPN elicited by the target picture was reduced when preceded by pleasant compared to neutral or unpleasant prime pictures, F(1, 24) = 55.0 and 61.7, p \ 0.001, which did not differ from each other, F(1, 24) = 0.1, ns. 3 Late Positive Potential (LPP) Figure 4 shows a representative centro-parietal sensor replicating enlarged LPP amplitudes to emotional prime pictures (upper panel). Of most interest, pleasant and unpleasant prime pictures reduced the LPP to the subsequent picture (target) irrespective of hedonic valence (middle panel).…”

“…Accordingly, the present data provide first insights into the temporal sustainability of prime interference effects. Finally, using this design, we expected to replicate previous effects showing enhanced EPN and LPP amplitudes when emotional (pleasant and unpleasant), compared to neutral pictures, were the focus of current processing [6,3].…”

“…In rapid serial presentation paradigms, a difference in processing emotional (pleasant and unpleasant), compared to neutral, pictures is shown by a larger early posterior negativity (EPN) developing around 150 ms after stimulus onset and lasting until about 300 ms [1,2]. Subsequently, most apparent between 300 and 700 ms poststimulus, emotional pictures elicit an augmented late positive potential (LPP) over centro-parietal locations [3]. Furthermore, both ERP components vary as a function of emotional arousal.…”

Viewing emotionally arousing compared to neutral pictures is associated with differential electrophysiological activity in early (''early posterior negativity'', EPN), as well as later time-windows (''late positive potential'', LPP). A previous study revealed that the EPN is reduced when the preceding prime picture was emotional. The present study explored whether sequential interference effects are specific for early processing stages or extend to later processing stages. Dense sensor ERPs were measured while subjects viewed a continuous stream of pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures, presented for 660 ms each. Previous results were replicated in that emotional pictures were associated with enlarged EPN and LPP amplitudes compared to neutral pictures. Furthermore, the EPN to emotional and neutral pictures was reduced when preceded by pleasant prime pictures. The novel finding was that emotional compared to neutral prime pictures were associated with reduced LPP amplitudes to the subsequently presented picture irrespective of its emotional valence (pleasant, neutral, unpleasant). These results demonstrate sustained interference effects in serial picture presentations discussed within a framework of resource competition among successive pictures.

“…In fact, the IAPS pictures used in our study did not include highly arousing pictures 683 (e.g., mutilations or erotica), for which gender differences might likely arise (Lithari et al, 2010;684 Proverbio et al, 2009;Schupp et al, 2007Schupp et al, , 2006. Moreover, future studies are needed to assess 685 whether the reported ERP effects may lead to differential long-term memory effects for 686 emotional compared to neutral scenes (Dolcos and Cabeza, 2002;Kaestner and Polich, 2011).…”

21Visual scene recognition is a proactive process through which contextual cues and top-down 22 expectations facilitate the extraction of invariant features. Whether the emotional content of the 23 scenes exerts a reliable influence on these processes or not, however, remains an open question. 24Here, topographic ERP mapping analysis and a distributed source localization method were used 25 to characterize the electrophysiological correlates of proactive processes leading to scene 26 recognition, as well as the potential modulation of these processes by memory and emotion. On 27 each trial, the content of a complex neutral or emotional scene was progressively revealed, and 28 participants were asked to decide whether this scene had previously been encountered or not 29(delayed match-to-sample task). Behavioral results showed earlier recognition for old compared 30to new scenes, as well as delayed recognition for emotional vs. neutral scenes. 31Electrophysiological results revealed that, ~400 ms following stimulus onset, activity in ventral 32 object-selective regions increased linearly as a function of accumulation of perceptual evidence 33 prior to recognition of old scenes. The emotional content of the scenes had an early influence in 34 these areas. By comparison, at the same latency, the processing of new scenes was mostly 35 achieved by dorsal and medial frontal brain areas, including the anterior cingulate cortex and the 36 insula. In the latter region, emotion biased recognition at later stages, likely corresponding to 37 decision making processes. These findings suggest that emotion can operate at distinct and 38 multiple levels during proactive processes leading to scene recognition, depending on the extent 39 of prior encounter with these scenes. 40

The effects of daily step goals of 10,000, 12,500, and 15,000 steps per day on neural activity to food cues: A 24‐week dose‐response randomized trial

Introduction The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of different levels of sustained physical activity on neural reflections of attention allocated toward food cues in first year college women. Methods Seventy‐nine first‐year college women (18.6 ± 0.5 years) were recruited to participate in the study. Women were randomly assigned to a daily step goal of 10,000, 12,500, or 15,000 for 24 weeks. Once during weeks 16–24, participants were shown pictures of plated meals or flowers with the neural response measured using the P300 and late positive potential (LPP) components of the scalp‐recorded event‐related potential. Diet was assessed using the automated 24‐h recall. Results Both the P300 and LPP amplitudes were significantly more positive to food versus flower pictures (ps < .001). There was no interaction between step group and picture condition for the P300 and LPP. However, the 12,500‐step group showed a significantly elevated LPP amplitude in comparison to the other groups for both food and flowers (F(2,74) = 8.84; p < .001). The effect size for the combined results (food and flowers) was 0.56 between 10,000 and 12,500‐step groups, and 0.75 between the 12,500‐ and 15,000‐step groups. In addition, the 12,500 group reduced caloric consumption over the course of the intervention (t(1,74) = 3.35, p = .001, dz = 0.59). Conclusion Habitual physical activity of 10,000, 12,500, or 15,000 steps per day does not preferentially alter neural reflections toward food cues compared to flowers. There may be a nonlinear response to pleasant visual cues, with 12,500 steps per day eliciting higher LPPs than either 10,000 or 15,000.
