“…The behavioral and neural responses to negative stimuli differ, depending on whether they are perceived as immediately threatening to the individual or as merely being negative and nonthreatening (Kveraga et al, 2015). Importantly, affect can also be conceptualized as a set of discrete states rather than as dimensional (Barrett, 1998;Ekman, 1992;Izard, 1992), and, similarly to the IAPS images (Libkuman, Otani, Kern, Viger, & Novak, 2007;Mikels et al, 2005), the images included in the OASIS dataset could also be rated using discrete emotion labels rather than two-or three-dimensional scales. Furthermore, even though the OASIS images were selected to represent various segments of circumplex space, they are subject to variation on other, not necessarily affective, dimensions, such as consequentiality, memorability, meaningfulness, and familiarity.…”
