It is not known to what extent the automatic encoding and change detection
of peripherally presented facial emotion is altered in dysphoria. The negative bias
in automatic face processing in particular has rarely been studied. We used
magnetoencephalography (MEG) to record automatic brain responses to happy and
sad faces in dysphoric (Beck’s Depression Inventory ≥ 13) and control participants.
Stimuli were presented in a passive oddball condition, which allowed potential negative
bias in dysphoria at different stages of face processing (M100, M170, and M300) and
alterations of change detection (visual mismatch negativity, vMMN) to be investigated.
The magnetic counterpart of the vMMN was elicited at all stages of face processing,
indexing automatic deviance detection in facial emotions. The M170 amplitude was
modulated by emotion, response amplitudes being larger for sad faces than happy
faces. Group differences were found for the M300, and they were indexed by two
different interaction effects. At the left occipital region of interest, the dysphoric group
had larger amplitudes for sad than happy deviant faces, reflecting negative bias in
deviance detection, which was not found in the control group. On the other hand, the
dysphoric group showed no vMMN to changes in facial emotions, while the vMMN was
observed in the control group at the right occipital region of interest. Our results indicate
that there is a negative bias in automatic visual deviance detection, but also a general
change detection deficit in dysphoria.

The effect of sad mood on early sensory event-related potentials to task-irrelevant faces
Li, Xueqiao; Vuoriainen, Elisa; Xu, Qianru; Astikainen, Piia (Elsevier BV, 2023)It has been shown that the perceiver’s mood affects the perception of emotional faces, but it is not known how mood affects preattentive brain responses to emotional facial expressions. To examine the question, we ... -
Electrical brain activity and facial electromyography responses to irony in dysphoric and non-dysphoric participants
Li, Xueqiao; Pesonen, Janne; Haimi, Elina; Wang, Huili; Astikainen, Piia (Elsevier BV, 2020)We studied irony comprehension and emotional reactions to irony in dysphoric and control participants. Electroencephalography (EEG) and facial electromyography (EMG) were measured when spoken conversations were presented ... -
Cognitive processing in depressive disorder from the perspectives of interoception, sensory processing sensitivity and event-related potentials to facial expressions
Alhainen, Sara; Tulla, Janina (2022)Masennus on varsin yleinen mielenterveyden häiriö, joka aiheuttaa sekä inhimillistä kärsimystä että mittavia yhteiskunnallisia kustannuksia. Häiriön hoitovaste on kuitenkin usein suhteellisen heikko. Jotta tulevaisuudessa ... -
Pre-attentive brain responses to mood-congruent facial expressions are sensitive to changes in depressive symptoms
Alhainen, Veera (2016)Tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet masentuneiden tarkkaavuuden kiinnittyvän helpommin mielialan kanssa yhteneväisiin kasvonilmeisiin. Ei ole kuitenkaan vielä varmaa voidaanko vääristymä havaita jo tarkkaavaisuutta edeltävässä ... -
