Investigating affective prosody in psychosis: A study using the Comprehensive Affective Testing System

Auditory processing deficits in bipolar disorder with and without a history of psychotic features

“…Therefore, it may be that those who have more persistent or severe auditory hallucinations have greater dysfunction at the level of the auditory cortex, which could be related to impaired tone discrimination ability, although this remains to be seen. A study examining affective prosody in BD and SZ found that, regardless of diagnosis, the severity of auditory hallucinations was related to poorer performance . These findings indicate that future research examining the relationship between the severity of auditory hallucinations, frequency discrimination, and affective prosody across BD and SZ should be investigated.…”

Design and Application of Remote-Learner's Affective Testing in Human- Computer Interaction

“…Current work focuses on the emotional signal acquisition and identification. Emotional calculation can from two a aspects understanding: a is based on physiology of angle, through various measurement means detection human of various physiological parameter, as heartbeat, and pulse, and brain radio, and to this for according to calculation human of emotional state; the second is based on psy-chology of angle, through various sensor accept and processing environment information, and to this for according to calculation artificial machine (as personal robot) of emotional state [6,7].…”

Multimodal Emotion Integration in Bipolar Disorder: An Investigation of Involuntary Cross-Modal Influences between Facial and Prosodic Channels

“…A growing body of research suggests that social cognition is impaired in BD, with recent meta-analytic effect size estimates for overall facial emotion perception falling almost a quarter of a standard deviation below the healthy population mean (Rossell, Van Rheenen, Groot, Gogos, & Joshua, 2013;Samamé, Martino, & Strejilevich, 2012;Van Rheenen & Rossell, 2014). Although small, these impairments are nonetheless significant, and appear to contribute to psychosocial dysfunction in the disorder (Hoertnagl et al, 2011;Martino, Strejilevich, Fassi, Marengo, & Igoa, 2011;Ryan et al, 2013).…”

“…However, an investigation of multimodal emotion processing in the disorder is justified in light of evidence suggesting that it is subserved by neural structures that are implicated in the pathophysiology of BD, including the temporal lobe, amygdala, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortex (de Gelder, Böcker, Tuomainen, Hensen, & Vroomen, 1999;Dolan, Morris, & de Gelder, 2001;Laurienti et al, 2003;Phillips, Drevets, Rauch, & Lane, 2003;Phillips, Ladouceur, & Drevets, 2008;Pourtois, de Gelder, Bol, & Crommelinck, 2005). This, coupled with the large literature indicating that emotion perception from facial, and to a lesser extent prosody is impaired in the disorder, and evidence suggesting that multimodal integration itself is deficient in the genetically and phenotypically related disorder schizophrenia (Craddock, O'Donovan, & Owen, 2006, 2005de Gelder et al, 2005;Kohler, Walker, Martin, Healey, & Moberg, 2010;Rossell et al, 2013;Van Rheenen & Rossell, 2013a, 2013b, 2014, certainly provides a foundation from which it is reasonable to assume that abnormalities in crossmodal influences between different sensory modalities may be present in BD.…”
