Decoding Humor-Induced Amusement via Facial Expression Analysis: Toward Emotion-Aware Applications

Applied Sciences
Humor is widely recognized for its positive effects on well-being, including stress reduction, mood enhancement, and cognitive benefits. Yet, the lack of reliable tools to objectively quantify amusement—particularly its temporal dynamics—has limited ...

A computational model of language functions in flexible goal-directed behaviour

Scientific Reports, 2020
The function of language in high-order goal-directed human cognition is an important topic at the centre of current debates. Experimental evidence shows that inner speech, representing a self-directed form of language, empowers cognitive processes such ...

From Chicken Squawking to Cognition: Levels of Description and the Computational Approach in Psychology

Psychologica Belgica, 1996
What role can computational modeling play in psychology? What are the main advantages of instantiating theories as computer simulations? How should one assess the value of a given model? In this paper, our goals are to introduce and to discuss these issues. We argue for an essentially utilitarian view of computational modeling. We suggest that the main

Individual differences in belief updating and phasic arousal are related to psychosis proneness

Communications Psychology
Many decisions entail the updating of beliefs about the state of the environment by accumulating noisy sensory evidence. This form of probabilistic reasoning may go awry in psychosis.

Using computers in empirical and theoretical work in cognitive psychology [PDF]

Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, 1994
This article presents some of the issues I have faced in setting up my own laboratory system for research in cognitive psychology. First, for real-time subject testing systems, criteria for choosing hardware and software are presented along with a brief discussion of benchmarks. Stimulus generation and data analysis choices are also discussed.

BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism and Gamma Band Disruption in Resting State Brain Functional Connectivity: A Magnetoencephalography Study in Cognitively Intact Older Females

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
The pathophysiological processes undermining brain functioning decades before the onset of the clinical symptoms associated with dementia are still not well understood. Several heritability studies have reported that the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor
