요약 | Disorders of emotion negatively impact both individuals and society. They are the leading cause of high school dropout, hospitalizations, and suicide. Despite their severity, reliable diagnostic tests and effective interventions for affective disorders are lacking. To better diagnosis and treat emotion-related disorders, we need to better our understanding of how emotion is represented in the brain. This thesis aims to (1) investigate how simulations of sensory information contribute to the neural construction of emotion, and (2) study how we can leverage such simulations through internally-directed and interpersonally-directed emotion regulation.This thesis includes three independent investigations of emotion representation and regulation. Study 1 provides evidence that emotions are 'embodied' in somatosensory, motor, and perceptual simulations by demonstrating that self-reports of emotion-related sensation in one's body correspond to activity in sensorimotor cortices. Study 2 shows that a learned threat association can be extinguished through imaginal exposures to the threat-eliciting stimulus. Deliberate imagination attenuated neural and physiological responses to threat via a neural mechanism that harnessed perceptual simulations to influence stimulus valuation. Study 3 examines an emotional experience within its broader social context, and demonstrates that through simulations of the affect of those around, you can change your personal affective experience. Specifically, one's experience of pain intensity can be mitigated via interpersonal physiological synchrony with a supportive partner.This thesis provides insight into both how emotion is constructed in the human brain and how the neural construction of emotion can be modified through internally-directed and interpersonally-directed sensory simulations for therapeutic benefits. This work has implications for both basic neuroscientific research and clinical and social programs which aim to change an emotion at its fundamental level of neural construction. |
