However, little is known about whether and how social bonds, such as shared group identity, affect music listening activities. In this study, we manipulated social condition (inclusion vs. exclusion) to influence participants' group identification with music performers, after which they listened to six music pieces by the performers. The behavioral results showed that stronger group identification was associated with greater music liking. Machine-learning predictive models showed the effect of group identification on music liking beyond musical features. Notably, interpersonal brain analyses revealed increased inter-brain synchronization (IBS) in the temporal cortex between participants and performers. This IBS could mediate the relationship between group identification and music liking. The music-related IBS emerged earlier during listening, with participants' brain activity preceding that of performers, suggesting anticipatory neural engagement. This study reveals the unique role of group identification in shaping music appreciation and the underlying inter-brain mechanisms. It highlights the performer-listener bond as a potential conduit for intergroup communication in musical contexts.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145282379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frontocortical brain regions, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and mid-cingulate cortex (MCC), are thought to contribute to emotional processing and regulation and have been proposed as potential biomarkers of individual emotional well-being. However, how these regions relate to emotional experience across daily event contexts remains poorly understood. By integrating fMRI and ecological momentary assessment (EMA), the present study investigated whether, and how, frontocortical activity measured in the laboratory is associated with positive and negative emotional experience in the presence and absence of relevant daily events. Multilevel analyses revealed that individual differences in frontocortical activity were significantly associated with positive, but not negative, emotional experience. Specifically, individuals with heightened frontocortical activity exhibited significantly elevated baseline positive mood in the absence of positive events, compared to those with low frontocortical activity. These findings offer novel insights into the neural mechanisms underlying emotional dynamics and well-being in real-world settings.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hyperscanning, the simultaneous recording of neural data from multiple participants, enables real-time investigation of social processes by examining multiple brains while they interact. Previous hyperscanning research has largely focused on cooperative tasks, with fewer studies examining competitive contexts. Here, we obtained electroencephalography (EEG) hyperscanning data from 62 participants (31 pairs) who played a computerised version of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game, a classic paradigm for studying competitive decision-making. Although the optimal strategy is to be unpredictable and thus act randomly, participants exhibited behavioural biases, deviating from this ideal. Using multivariate decoding methods to measure neural representations within the two players' brains in interaction, we found information about decisions made by participants during gameplay, revealing certain strategies. Notably, losers uniquely represented information about prior trials, suggesting this may impair optimal performance. These results reveal how competitive decision-making is shaped by cognitive biases and previous outcomes, highlighting the difficulty of achieving randomness in strategic contexts. This work advances our understanding of decision-making and cognitive dynamics in competitive interactions.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145202614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether these same circuits instantiate subjective experience of anxiety remains unclear, a vital hurdle for clinical neuroscience. We used a semi-naturalistic, anxiogenic stimulus (animated movie) to evoke anxiety during fMRI in a pediatric sample with and without anxiety disorders (N = 84, before exclusion). After, participants provided verbal responses to interview questions about the stimulus. We quantified semantic content and valence of responses via natural language processing algorithms. Preregistered analyses found that wide-spread brain activity during the movie-including in the anterior insula cortex-related to participants' descriptions of the movie's narrative. Secondary analyses indicated anxiety symptoms were associated with insula responses, participants' descriptions of the movie's narrative, and appraisals. This study provides preliminary evidence that anxiety symptoms may shape patterns of insula activity during movie-watching, influencing the type of notable details later recalled. These findings underscore the utility of movie viewing paradigms in clinical neuroscience research on subjective emotional experiences in anxiety.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145152574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, administering NDPs is time-consuming, as their effectiveness relies on providing detailed explanations of the concept and presumed mechanisms. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated whether an encouragement-based intervention could serve as an alternative to NDPs.Method: Three groups of female participants (total n = 151) took part in an fMRI study in which they viewed both disgusting and neutral images. Prior to this, one group received an NDP capsule for oral intake, while another received a small figurine accompanied by an encouraging written message. Both interventions were framed as tools to support emotion regulation. A third group passively viewed the images.Results: NDP and encouragement elicited similar, modest reductions in reported disgust. However, the two interventions were linked to distinct patterns of brain activity and connectivity, involving the putamen, hippocampus, and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex.Conclusion: Since participants perceived encouragement as a more credible and effective means of reducing emotional distress, it may serve as a simple and practical alternative to NDP pills.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145152622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The N170 component is considered a key marker for nonconscious processing of fearful faces. In this pre-registered study (N = 62), we tested whether the P1, N170, and early posterior negativity (EPN) differentiate between fearful faces, neutral faces, and non-facial control stimuli. Consciousness was manipulated using backward-masked stimuli presented for 17 ms, with masks following immediately or after 200 ms. Participants rated their subjective perception on a perceptual awareness scale in each trial. We found strong evidence for an increased N170 response to nonconscious fearful versus neutral faces and for N170 differences between nonconscious faces and non-facial stimuli. No significant effects were found for P1 or EPN amplitudes in nonconscious conditions, although exploratory analyses suggest a possible P1 difference between faces and non-faces. These findings support that nonconscious emotion and face processing are detectable in early neural responses, albeit much weaker than during conscious perception. Future research should examine the influence of low-level stimulus differences and experimental conditions on these results.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145093385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants matched a target oscillation with either their real, unseen hand (RH task) or with a glove-controlled virtual hand (VH task), under varying visual feedback delays. Delays were task relevant in the VH task (requiring visuomotor adaptation) but irrelevant in the RH task. VH > RH task execution activated the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and extrastriate visual cortex significantly more strongly. The cerebellum showed stronger overall activity and correlations with delay in the VH > RH task. Thus, the instructed behavioral relevance of delayed visual movement feedback enhanced responses of the PPC (and the cerebellum), likely for visuomotor adaptation. Activity in temporoparietal regions correlated significantly with the amount of delay-equally strongly in both tasks-suggesting a basic mechanism of visuomotor comparison. Delay changes and errors correlated with activity in the anterior insulae (AI), more strongly so in the VH>RH task, suggesting task set dependent visual error processing.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145093373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), this study temporarily altered activity in these areas to investigate their influence on financial misreporting during a profit reporting task. Study 1 recruited university students, while Study 2 focused on finance professionals. The results showed that tDCS stimulation of rDLPFC and rTPJ reduced financial misreporting. However, the effects differed based on individuals' moral judgment levels. Those with lower moral judgment significantly reduced in misreporting with increased rDLPFC activity, whereas individuals with higher moral judgment remained consistent regardless of rDLPFC stimulation. In contrast, increased rTPJ activity reduced misreporting for subjects with higher moral judgment levels, whereas individuals with lower moral judgment remained consistent regardless of rTPJ stimulation. Importantly, these patterns hold whether participants are students or financial professionals. These findings emphasize distinct roles for rDLPFC and rTPJ in financial misreporting, highlighting the impact of individual moral judgment. This study has practical implications for enhancing ethical behavior by intervening in decision-making to effectively curb misreporting among individuals with different levels of moral judgment.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145093369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The posterior cerebellum plays a central role in regulating human social behavior and guiding social navigation. However, the extent to which cerebello-cerebral pathways mediate this role has not been sufficiently studied. Using Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) on four novel social navigation studies (N = 107), our results showed many connections (i.e., bidirectional connections between cerebellar Crus 2 and cortical mentalizing areas) of the cerebellar Crus 2 with cortical mentalizing areas, including the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), precuneus, and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), spanning both ipsilaterally and contralaterally. Connectivity patterns were only slightly modulated by experimental manipulations, involving (a) active encoding versus passive observation of navigational sequences and (b) social versus non-social sequences. Furthermore, when participants observed behaviors defying social expectations or norms, upward connectivity from the right Crus 2 to the ventral mPFC and downward connectivity from the precuneus to the left Crus 2 became stronger, while upward connectivity from the left Crus 2 to the ventral mPFC weakened. This study enhances our understanding of the role of the cerebellum in effective connectivity and its changes in response to social violations during social navigation.","PeriodicalId":94208,"journal":{"name":"Social cognitive and affective neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145093298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
