Summary: Heartbeat-evoked responses (HERs) interact with external stimuli and play a crucial role in shaping perception, self-related processes, and emotional processes. The study investigates the interactive mechanism between HERs and the perception of one's own name (SON), demonstrating that HERs can be modulated by SON and can also bias the judgment of SON.

Summary: The N190 component of ERP responds to images of human bodies in different poses. This study investigates how the N190 response changes when observers view images that incorporate natural variability in body appearance and background. The results show that natural appearance variability affects body processing at the N190 and that later ERP components may play an important role in body processing in natural scenes.

Summary: Most neuroimaging studies on sexual behavior focus on men, but future research should consider factors specific to women such as menstrual cycle and sexual orientation, as well as use more representative sexual stimuli. This review provides useful guidelines for more inclusive research on sexual arousal and may lead to more accurate neurobiological models.

Summary: Research shows that primate ganglion cell responses to natural scenes are primarily driven by temporal variations in color and luminance caused by eye movements, with little influence from interaction with receptive field structure. Model predictions suggest that responses derive from the temporal pattern of stimulation from eye movements, reducing redundancy in the retinal signal. The magnocellular pathway is better suited to transmit detailed structure of natural scenes than the parvocellular pathway.

Summary: The study found that individuals with anxiety disorders exhibit heightened neural and autonomic reactivity to stimuli during conditions of uncertainty, suggesting that this may be a key psychobiological mechanism of anxiety.

Summary: Forest resource management and ecological assessment have benefited from emerging technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), which can quickly and accurately obtain three-dimensional forest information. However, existing single-tree segmentation methods have limitations in accuracy and robustness, leading to unsatisfactory results in natural forests. The proposed trunk-growth (TG) method effectively segments individual trees in complex forest scenes and demonstrates the advantages of combining plant morphology theory and LiDAR technology for optimizing forestry systems.

Summary: Recording multimodal responses to sensory stimuli in infants allows for a comprehensive investigation of the developing nervous system. Accurate time-locking across modalities is crucial for correct interpretation and can improve clinical care through automatic and objective pain assessment.

Summary: This study compared the effects of different types of urban and rural landscape scenes on attention restoration using the Perceived Restorativeness Scale, perception complexity scoring, and eye tracking. The results showed that rural natural scenes had the highest restoration effect, and waterscapes and well-maintained vegetation were positively correlated with restorative benefits. Weeds and hardscapes were negatively correlated with restoration, possibly due to the maintenance of these typical elements. The harmony of elements with the environment was a key factor.

Summary: Prenatal maternal depression symptoms may lead to weaker responses to happy sounds in children, but no significant effects were found for sad and angry sounds.

Summary: This study used a new probabilistic approach to model the relationship between sequences of auditory stimuli and EEG data, finding that the context tree generating the stimuli can be effectively extracted from the EEG data, thus providing support for the classical conjecture that the brain assigns probabilistic models to samples of stimuli.

Summary: This study investigated the brain responses of takotsubo syndrome patients during the acute and recovery phases, and found that their limbic responses to aversive visual stimuli were attenuated during the acute phase but recovered within three months. This finding is important for understanding the neural mechanisms of takotsubo syndrome.

Summary: Research findings indicate that there are distinctive patterns of brain functioning in children and adults, with greater variability in young children. It is unclear whether this increase in typicality is a developmental process in early childhood and the factors driving changes in brain responses. The study examined fMRI data from 81 typically developing children aged 4-8 years and found support for the increasing typicality hypothesis in various brain regions during passive viewing. The findings suggest that increasing inter-individual similarity in functional responses to audiovisual stimuli is crucial in early childhood brain development.

Summary: This review explored the methodological issues of paternal brain research and summarized findings related to fathers' responses to infant stimuli. It suggests that a distributed and complex brain network may be involved in facilitating fathers' sensitivity and responses to infant-related stimuli, while also highlighting the need for systematic improvements in study designs.

Summary: This study compared age-related differences in EEG responses in visual BCIs between young and senior participants, revealing that seniors showed higher P1 amplitudes in specific contexts and that AO-based BCIs are feasible for seniors. However, new algorithms are needed to improve performance for senior participants, especially in identifying AO targets.

Summary: One-third of the population in the UK and worldwide suffer from chronic pain. Entraining brain alpha activity through visual stimulation has been shown to reduce experimental pain in healthy volunteers. This study demonstrates that changes in alpha power resulting from entrainment are correlated with an analgesic response in patients with chronic pain.
