“…The corrugator and orbicularis oculi muscle regions showed reductions in reactivity levels to music during the final versus initial evaluation phase. Corrugator tension has been linked to task difficulty (Cohen, Davidson, Senulis, Saron, & Weisman, 1992). Although to our knowledge no prior research has assessed the relationship between attention or cognitive effort and orbicularis oculi EMG, it seems plausible that this muscle would also tense with attention focused intently on evaluating complex stimuli, and that this reactivity would reduce with familiarity and ease of processing.…”

This study assessed exposure effects on liking, self-reported affect, and physiology in response to music. Music stimuli varied in valence (positive or negative) and arousal (high or low), in a 2 )/2 within-subjects design (N 0/67). Six quasi-randomly ordered, counterbalanced exposures to music produced response polarisation. With exposure, negative music was liked even less, whereas positive music was liked even more. Zygomatic (smile) EMG also showed response polarisation: with exposure, participants smiled most during positive arousing music, and least during negative arousing music. Heart rate, corrugator (brow) and orbicularis oculi (under the eye) EMG reactivity patterns were consistent with possible increased fluency in processing the music with exposure. We address theoretical accounts of exposure and response polarisation and suggest directions for future research.

“…More specifically, we tested whether contraction of the eyebrowfurrowing corrugator muscles, a known concomitant of focused perceptual attention (Cohen, Davidson, Senulis, Saron, & Weisman, 1992) compared to contraction of the eyebrow-raising frontalis muscle, a concomitant of widened perceptual scope (antithetical to corrugator contraction), may diminish originality on a creative generation task.…”

“…It is probable that the discomfort was due to the extra effort applied to compensate for the high level of fatigue experienced during night-time navigation (Matthews et al, 2000). Wersted et al (1991Wersted et al ( , 1994 and Cohen et al (1992) reported that attentiondemanding tasks were associated with shoulder muscle tension and increased muscle activity in the corrugator supercilii. Edwards (1988), Svebak (1988), and Wallace and Buckle (1987) also found that mental stress contributes to the development of musculoskeletal pain or discomfort.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in the level of fatigue induced by high-speed maritime craft operation between the day-shift and night-shift officers.The demographic and work-related factors that contribute to fatigue were also explored. A total of 93 high-speed maritime craft officers participated in the survey, of whom 35 worked a day-shift (Mean age = 48.3 years) and 58 worked a night-shift (Mean age = 45.8 years). Fatigue experience was measured with the Chinese version of the Swedish OccupationalFatigue Inventory (SOFI-C) at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the work shift.Information on age, work experience, perceived voyage difficulty and duty schedule was obtained. The study found that the night-shift officers seemed to manifest an overall higher level of perceived fatigue than the day-shift officers, while the day-shift officers demonstrated a fatigue carry-over effect across the two workdays. Besides the shift pattern, age, experience in operating high-speed maritime craft and perceived voyage difficulty were the significant factors contributing to the officers' fatigue experience. The finding that the fatigue experience associated with high-speed maritime craft operation has a rapid and accumulative nature suggests that different occupational safety and health guidelines should be devised for these two groups of officers.Fatigue and high-speed maritime craft 3 3
