Levels of emotional awareness and autism: An fMRI study

Giorgia Silani, Geoffrey Bird, Rachel Brindley et al. · 12 May 2008

Autism is associated with an inability to identify and distinguish one's own feelings. We assessed this inability using alexithymia and empathy questionnaires, and used fMRI to investigate brain activity while introspecting on emotion. Individuals with high functioning autism/Asperger syndrome (HFA/AS) were compared with matched controls. Participants rated stimuli from the International Affective Picture System twice,…

Face to face: Blocking facial mimicry can selectively impair recognition of emotional expressions

Lindsay M. Oberman, Piotr Winkielman, Vilayanur S. Ramachandran · 26 Jul 2007

People spontaneously mimic a variety of behaviors, including emotional facial expressions. Embodied cognition theories suggest that mimicry reflects internal simulation of perceived emotion in order to facilitate its understanding. If so, blocking facial mimicry should impair recognition of expressions, especially of emotions that are simulated using facial musculature. The current research tested this hypothesis using…

Social coordination dynamics: Measuring human bonding

Olivier Oullier, Gonzalo C. de Guzman, Kelly J. Jantzen et al. · 12 May 2008

Spontaneous social coordination has been extensively described in natural settings but so far no controlled methodological approaches have been employed that systematically advance investigations into the possible self-organized nature of bond formation and dissolution between humans. We hypothesized that, under certain contexts, spontaneous synchrony-a well-described phenomenon in biological and physical settings-could emerge spontaneously between humans…

Fetal testosterone and empathy: Evidence from the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test

Emma Chapman, Simon Baron‐Cohen, Bonnie Auyeung et al. · 1 Jun 2006

Empathy involves an understanding of what others are thinking and feeling, and enables us to interact in the social world. According to the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) theory, females on average have a stronger drive to empathize than males. This sex difference may in part reflect developmental differences in brain structure and function, which are themselves under…

Mirror neurons and the social nature of language: The neural exploitation hypothesis

Vittorio Gallese · 12 May 2008

This paper discusses the relevance of the discovery of mirror neurons in monkeys and of the mirror neuron system in humans to a neuroscientific account of primates' social cognition and its evolution. It is proposed that mirror neurons and the functional mechanism they underpin, embodied simulation, can ground within a unitary neurophysiological explanatory framework important…
