Neural Processing of Social Stimuli in High vs. Low Social Anxiety Individuals: A Pilot Study
Proceedings of the IEEE. 2024.
Social anxiety is characterized by fear in various socially related situations. Research demonstrates that people with high social anxiety have lower self-esteem and experience negative impacts from this state. The current pilot study aimed to investigate neural responses to social stimuli in individuals with high and low social anxiety. Fifty-seven participants completed an online screening form to assess anxiety levels, with four participants selected for each group based on their scores (High Social Anxiety group: M_age = 20.57, SD = 4.27; Low Social Anxiety group: M_age = 28.5, SD = 7.18). Participants underwent EEG recordings while being exposed to facial expression stimuli. Results revealed lower event-related potentials (ERPs) in individuals with high social anxiety compared to those with low social anxiety. These findings suggest altered neural processing of social cues in individuals with high social anxiety, highlighting the need for further investigation into the underlying mechanisms.

Mammals from arid ecosystems face distinct physiological challenges: water scarcity and unpredictable food availability require the integration of energy storage, maintenance of water balance, and flexible switching between nutrients. Our previous study demonstrated lower fasting blood glucose levels in the desert rodent Acomys cahirinus (African spiny mouse), which also possesses a unique regenerative ability. The aim of ...

This article investigates the phenomenon of enduring informal multi-age communities contributing to adolescent upbringing. The conditions for the establishment and the factors ensuring the endurance of such communities are identified through the example of three organizations: the “Nadezhda” unit, the Children and Youth Organization “Ostrov Sokrovishch” (Treasure Island), and the “Karavella” (Caravel) unit. As for ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

Contemporary vocal pedagogy faces a complex set of methodological challenges that encompass not only the search for ways to improve technical vocal skills for the realization of artistic vision, but also the development of self-control and self-regulation in future singers, as well as the entire creative process. A successful artist cannot function without the ability ...

The development of musical abilities, including absolute pitch, musical memory, rhythm sense, and musicality, at a high degree is determined by a hereditary component (up to 68 %). The studies implementing a genome-wide linkage and association approach to musical aptitude have revealed more than 100 genetic loci. This spectrum is comprised of the genes encoding ...

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...

Single amino acid substitutions in the ATP-binding domain of ACVRL1, a key receptor in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, are frequently classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), complicating molecular diagnosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Since aberrant ATP binding disrupts downstream SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, we employed molecular dynamics ...

Introduction. Video games constitute a special form of digital media characterized by dynamic environments that respond to players’ actions and integrated algorithms. Within psychological research, video games offer better validity compared to traditional automated assessment systems, enabling a naturalistic investigation of various phenomena. Furthermore, video games shape mental processes. These features are widely exploited in international psychological research and are critical ...

Growing evidence suggests the specific systems for emotional information maintenance and processing in working memory, highlighting the role of cognitive domains in emotional awareness. The question of neural basis of social-emotional processing in working memory remains open. We hypothesized that the neural systems supporting working memory for emotional processing may rely on shared ‘core’ networks ...
