Summary: Objective reward-related processes play a crucial role in eating disorders, but current research using self-report and imaging methods has limitations. Event-related potentials (ERPs) derived from electroencephalography offer a more precise measure of neurocognitive reward processing. However, ERPs have not been used to directly examine reward functioning in eating disorders. This paper reviews the clinical utility of ERPs in reward-related research and suggests its potential application for studying eating disorders.

Summary: The ability to accurately identify and interpret others' emotions is crucial during adolescence. This study examined the relationship between laboratory-based measures of socioemotional information processing and real-world affective dynamics in adolescents. The results demonstrate that prolonged engagement with happy or angry faces is related to resistance to changes in happiness or anger, highlighting the importance of laboratory measures in predicting and understanding adolescent affective states.

Summary: Spatial EEG filters are critical for isolating event-related potential (ERP) components in brain studies. While stationary filters are simple and commonly used, they mistakenly assume that stimulus-induced EEG responses are stationary. On the other hand, adaptive filters do not make this assumption but require solid statistical and physiological knowledge for proper interpretation. A new adaptive filter called local spatial analysis (LSA) has been introduced to bridge this gap, showing superior performance in identifying ERP components compared to traditional stationary filters. You can access the free MATLAB implementation of the LSA filter at https://www.iannettilab.net/lsa.html or https://github.com/rorybufacchi/LSA-filter.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that words can elicit emotional processing, with emotion-label and emotion-laden words having distinct processes. This exploratory study investigated the developmental changes in these processes in relation to emotional valence. The results revealed that the processing of emotion-label and emotion-laden words are distinct in late childhood, and this discrepancy varies with emotional valence and increasing age.

Summary: This study compared EEG signals elicited by cybersecurity notifications, emotionally charged IAPS images, and other computer-related stimuli and found elevated late positive potential (LPP) amplitudes in reaction to cybersecurity notifications and strong positive/negative valence IAPS images. These findings suggest that LPP may explain emotional deliberation about cybersecurity notifications and be a useful measure for future research into the role of emotional reactions in encouraging safe computer behavior.

Summary: In this study, a novel paradigm based on static motion illusion-induced visual evoked potentials (VEPs) was proposed for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to enhance visual experience and practicality. Different illusions, including rotating-tilted-lines and rotating-snakes illusions, were examined to explore their distinguishable features. The results showed that the illusion stimuli elicited VEPs in early time windows and a filter bank was designed to extract discriminative signals for binary classification task performance. The highest accuracy of 86.67% was achieved with a data length of 0.6 s, demonstrating the feasibility and potential of the static motion illusion paradigm for VEP-based BCIs.

Summary: There is a growing recognition of the importance of biological phenotyping in understanding psychopathology. However, little attention has been given to the issue of measurement noninvariance, which refers to the inability of a measurement instrument to accurately measure the same construct across different individuals or time points. In this article, using the example of inflammatory phenotypes of depression, the authors discuss the implications of differential biology-symptom associations on measurement noninvariance and its impact on the broader diagnostic construct.

Summary: This study examined the general and specific influence of two trait factors, namely disinhibition and callousness, on externalizing problems. The results showed that disinhibition was associated with conduct disorder, ADHD, alcohol use disorder, and general externalizing traits, while callousness was selectively related to conduct disorder symptoms. These findings suggest that disinhibition confers broad liability for externalizing spectrum disorders, while callousness represents more specific liability for antagonistic forms of externalizing.

Summary: This study examined the differences between trait disinhibition and UPPS-P impulsivity in predicting externalizing problems and negative affectivity (NA). Disinhibition was found to predict externalizing problems more strongly, while certain UPPS-P traits predicted NA more strongly. The study suggests that trait disinhibition specifically indexes propensity for externalizing problems, while impulsigenic traits reflect a blend of externalizing and NA relevant to various forms of psychopathology.

Summary: The critique highlights the limitations of characterizing the item-level factor structure of the TriPM scales. While item-level analysis can be useful, it may not accurately represent the narrower subdimensions assessed by their parent inventories. It underscores the importance of considering nomological networks when evaluating the effectiveness of the operationalizations of the triarchic model constructs.

Summary: In this study, electroencephalogram data was analyzed to compare the resting network activation between heavy media multitaskers (HMM) and light media multitaskers (LMM). The results showed that HMM had weaker activation in the attention network, but enhanced activation in the salience network. They also had an enhanced visual network and may feel less comfortable during resting-state periods. This suggests that chronic media multitasking leads to a bottom-up or stimulus-driven allocation of attention for HMM, while LMM use a top-down approach.
