Exploring pitch and length perception
This research offers valuable insights into the developmental trajectory of the MMR, suggesting that it may not be a straightforward progression from positive to negative. Further, it advances both clinical understanding and cross-linguistic research in developmental language disorder
Native language background affects the perception of duration and pitch
Chinese speakers perceived Estonian duration as meaningless acoustic information. • Chinese speakers showed better pitch discrimination ability than Estonian speakers. • Estonian speakers benefited from their L1 in perceiving non-speech sounds. • Our results indicate that L1 background affects the perception of duration and pitch. • Our results indicate that the effect of L1 is not restricted to the speech/language domain. Estonian is a quantity …
Effect of musical expertise on the perception of duration and pitch in language
This study adopts a cross-linguistic perspective and investigates how musical expertise affects the perception of duration and pitch in language. Native speakers of Chinese (N = 44) and Estonian (N = 46), each group subdivided into musicians and non-musicians, participated in a mismatch negativity (MMN) experiment where they passively listened to both Chinese and Estonian stimuli, followed by a behavioral experiment where they attentively discrim…
Skin conductance response and habituation to emotional facial expressions and words
Skin conductance response (SCR) serves as a dependable marker of sympathetic activation used to measure emotional arousal. This study investigates the impact of presentation modality (face or word) on the degree of emotional discrimination elicited by SCR. Facial expressions or words associated with six basic emotions-anger, happiness, disgust, fear, sadness, and surprise-were studied among 102 participants. The amplitude of SCR was accurately pr…
Processing emotions from faces and words measured by event-related brain potentials
Affective aspects of a stimulus can be processed rapidly and before cognitive attribution, acting much earlier for verbal stimuli than previously considered. Aimed for specific mechanisms, event-related brain potentials (ERPs), expressed in facial expressions or word meaning and evoked by six basic emotions – anger, disgust, fear, happy, sad, and surprise – relative to emotionally neutral stimuli were analysed in a sample of 116 participants. Bra…
Exploring the role of momentary positive and negative affect in overeating and binge eating
Subjectively different emotional schematic faces not automatically discriminated from the brain’s bioelectrical responses
Updating facial emotional expressions in working memory
Ayahuasca Users in Estonia
The study aims to describe ayahuasca users in Estonia and compare their mental health and quality of life to those of nonusers. Ceremonial practices, motivation for ayahuasca use, use-related experiences, and subjective consequences of use are described. We conducted a cross-sectional case-controlled study of thirty ayahuasca users and thirty nonusers matched by gender, age, and education. The participants completed questionnaires, standardized p…
Hunger enhances automatic processing of food and non-food stimuli
Automatic detection of important and unexpected stimuli in the visual environment is crucial for survival. We sought to explore whether visual food stimuli are detected already in the pre-attentive stimulus processing phase, and whether hunger enhances such automatic detection. To attain these goals, we adapted an electroencephalography paradigm - visual mismatch negativity (vMMN). vMMN is a useful paradigm to study the processing of salient emot…
Bending time
Affective states are known to distort time perception, but it remains unclear why and how they do so. To test whether appraisal processes involved in affect may play a role in temporal distortions, we investigated bisection behavior during experimental events with varying appraisal values along three dimensions: goal relevance (high vs. low), goal type (approach vs. avoid), and goal congruence (conducive vs. obstructive). Forty female participant…
