“…Further, a typical analysis strategy that we and others have used (Bird et al 2015;Chen et al 2016;Schlochtermeier et al 2016) involves modeling the entire ~50 s response to the video as an average response or with a single regressor.…”

Multiscale Integration of Contextual Information During a Naturalistic Task

Everyday experience requires rapid and automatic integration of incoming stimuli with previously stored knowledge. Prior knowledge can help construct a general "situation model" of the event, as well as aid comprehension of an ongoing narrative. Using fMRI in healthy adult humans we investigated processing of videos whose locations and characters were always familiar but whose narratives were either a continuation or non-continuation of an earlier video (high context (HC) or low context (LC) respectively). Responses in parahippocampal gyrus and retrosplenial cortex were composed of an initial transient, locked to the video onsets, followed by a period of lower amplitude activation that was greater in the LC condition. This may reflect rapid processing of core components of situation models such as location and characters and more gradual incorporation of their narrative themes. By contrast, activity increases in left hemisphere middle temporal gyrus (MTG), angular gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus were maintained throughout the videos and were higher for HC versus LC videos. Further, activity in the left MTG peaked earlier in the HC condition. We suggest that these regions support representations of the specific inter-linked concepts necessary to comprehend an ongoing narrative, which are already established for the HC videos.

“…Thus, the stimulus materials in affective neuroimaging studies have often targeted one emotion category (e.g., horror movies to elicit fear in Hudson et al, 2020; comedy clips to elicit amusement in Iidaka, 2017; or separation scenes to elicit sadness in Schlochtermeier et al, 2017). Emotion categories that have been studied with naturalistic stimuli include amusement (Moran et al, 2004;Sawahata et al, 2013;Iidaka, 2017;Tu et al, 2019), sadness (Goldin et al, 2005;Schlochtermeier et al, 2017;Sachs et al, 2020), enjoyment (Sachs et al, 2020), fear (Hudson et al, 2020), suspense (Naci et al, 2014;Lehne et al, 2015), and anger (Jacob et al, 2018). Overall, as expected, categorical emotions lead to wide-spread brain activity and connectivity changes similarly to valence and arousal (see Figures 2, 3 and Supplementary Tables 1, 2).…”

“…Dynamic approaches have also proven useful in detecting the brain regions and networks responsible for processing at consecutive stages of evolving disgust (Nanni et al, 2018;Pujol et al, 2018), sadness (Schlochtermeier et al, 2017), and humor (Sawahata et al, 2013). For instance, using the temporal dynamics of humor ratings, predicting the upcoming humor events on a volume-by-volume basis was possible before they happened (Sawahata et al, 2013), and cumulative viewing of sad movies increased activation in midline regions including anterior and posterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex (Schlochtermeier et al, 2017). Thus, parsing the functional components using emotion feature models allows investigation of temporal variation between components, and opens new possibilities for naturalistic neuroimaging of emotions.…”

Naturalistic Stimuli in Affective Neuroimaging: A Review

Naturalistic stimuli such as movies, music, and spoken and written stories elicit strong emotions and allow brain imaging of emotions in close-to-real-life conditions. Emotions are multi-component phenomena: relevant stimuli lead to automatic changes in multiple functional components including perception, physiology, behavior, and conscious experiences. Brain activity during naturalistic stimuli reflects all these changes, suggesting that parsing emotion-related processing during such complex stimulation is not a straightforward task. Here, I review affective neuroimaging studies that have employed naturalistic stimuli to study emotional processing, focusing especially on experienced emotions. I argue that to investigate emotions with naturalistic stimuli, we need to define and extract emotion features from both the stimulus and the observer.

“…The mechanisms underlying video game‐related plastic brain changes remain unclear, and might be related to tonic/phasic activation or inhibition of the affected brain regions during game playing. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to measure brain activities during video game playing and other real‐world events such as movie watching . However, performing such tasks, especially those complicated tasks that need strong engagement and extensive body movements, inside a scanner bore could be associated with significantly different brain activities from those would be obtained under naturalistic conditions.…”

Real‐time monitoring prefrontal activities during online video game playing by functional near‐infrared spectroscopy

A growing body of literature has suggested that video game playing can induce functional and structural plasticity of the brain. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain poorly understood. In this study, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to record prefrontal activities in 24 experienced game players when they played a massively multiplayer online battle arena video game, League of Legends (LOL), under naturalistic conditions. It was observed that game onset was associated with significant activations in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) and concomitant deactivations in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and frontal pole area (FPA). Game events, such as slaying an enemy and being slain by an enemy evoked region-specific time-locked hemodynamic/oxygenation responses in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). It was proposed that the VLPFC activities during LOL playing are likely responses to visuo-motor task load of the game, while the DLPFC/FPA activities may be involved in the constant shifts of attentional states and allocation of cognitive resources required by game playing. The present study demonstrated that it is feasible to use fNIRS to monitor real-time prefrontal activity during online video game playing.
