Impact of virtual agent facial emotions and attention on N170 ERP amplitude: comparative study by Luisa Kirasirova, Olga Maslova, Vasiliy Pyatin, Vasiliy Pyatin

“…The amplitudes of the N170 ERP were also reflected in the comparative analysis between 2D and VR.ResultsIn the context of virtual agent facial emotional expressions, we identified the following dynamics of the N170 amplitude: attention (passive/active) showed no signaling effect; active attention to neutral virtual agent facial emotions reduced the N170 amplitude; significant interactions were observed between the factors “emotion × attention” and “environment × attention,” but no interaction was found among all three factors.ConclusionThe immersive quality of the environment in which visual and emotional events are presented has a less pronounced effect on early-stage facial processing at N170 amplitude. …”

How does playfulness (re)frame the world? Evidence for selective cognitive and behavioral redirecting in times of adversity by Xiangyou Shen, Zoe Crawley

“…Sequential analyses including MANOVA, ANOVA, and ANCOVA were performed to examine overall, univariate, and adjusted group differences, respectively, validated by sensitivity analysis across three group categorization methods.ResultsThree sets of contrasting findings evidenced selective playful (re)framing effects, wherein more playful individuals (1) shared similar perceptions of current risk and protective factors while adopting a more optimistic future outlook, (2) perceived similar levels of vulnerability and isolation but engaged in significantly higher levels of resilient coping and adaptive leisure, and (3) participated in similar categories and frequencies of leisure activities but with higher experiential quality, marked by greater immersion, activeness, and positive affect.DiscussionPlayfulness functions as a “color spotlight” rather than “rose-tinted glasses,” with selective influence through “lemonading”—creatively imagining and pursuing positive possibilities to cultivate adaptive, enjoyable experiences while maintaining a clear-eyed realism about challenges. …”
