Lateralization effects on the cardiac modulation of acoustic startle eye blinkAndré Schulz
Division of Clinical Physiology, Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Johanniterufer 15, D 54290 Trier, Germany
Biol Psychol 80:287-91. 2009..This lateralization effect in the cardiac modulation of startle eye blink may reflect the previously described advantages of right-hemispheric brain structures in relaying viscero- and baro-afferent signal transmission...
Cardiac modulation of startle: effects on eye blink and higher cognitive processingAndré Schulz
Division of Clinical Physiology, Institute for Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Brain Cogn 71:265-71. 2009..We conclude that the cardiac cycle affects the attentive processing of acoustic startle stimuli...
Effect of facial self-resemblance on the startle response and subjective ratings of erotic stimuli in heterosexual menJohanna Lass-Hennemann
Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Johanniterufer 15, 54290 Trier, Germany
Arch Sex Behav 40:1007-14. 2011..Our data suggest that visual facial resemblance of opposite-sex nudes increases approach motivation in men, and that this effect was not due to their conscious evaluation of the erotic stimuli...
Cold pressor stress affects cardiac attenuation of startleAndré Schulz
Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Int J Psychophysiol 79:385-91. 2011..We conclude that the cardiac modulation of startle is sensitive to altered temporal baro-afferent feedback characteristics induced by stress and autonomic activation...
Effects of cold pressor stress on the human startle responseChristian E Deuter
Department of Clinical Psychophysiology, Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e49866. 2012..The absence of an effect of stress on startle eye blink responsiveness may illustrate the importance of guaranteeing uninterrupted visual input during periods of stress...
Effects of stress on human mating preferences: stressed individuals prefer dissimilar matesJohanna Lass-Hennemann
Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 277:2175-83. 2010..Our findings show that stress affects human mating preferences: unstressed individuals showed the expected preference for similar mates, but stressed individuals seem to prefer dissimilar mates...
Direct gaze of photographs of female nudes influences startle in menJohanna Lass-Hennemann
Institute of Psychobiology, Department of Clinical Physiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Int J Psychophysiol 72:111-4. 2009..Our data suggest that direct gaze of opposite sex nudes may direct attention to the face, thereby reducing the appetitive impact of an attractive body...
Cardiac modulation of startle eye blinkAndré Schulz
Division of Clinical Physiology, Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Psychophysiology 46:234-40. 2009..Thus, pre-attentive startle methodology is feasible to study visceral afferent processing originating from the cardiovascular system...
Stress strengthens memory of first impressions of others' positive personality traitsJohanna Lass-Hennemann
Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
PLoS ONE 6:e16389. 2011..We propose that the stress-induced strengthening of memory of others' positive traits forms an important cue for the formation of alliances in stressful conditions...
Cortisol rapidly disrupts prepulse inhibition in healthy menSteffen Richter
Division of Clinical Physiology, Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Johanniterufer 15, D 54290 Trier, Germany
Psychoneuroendocrinology 36:109-14. 2011..The disruption of sensorimotor gating by the stress hormone cortisol may serve the processing of intense and potentially dangerous startling stimuli...
Aversive associative conditioning of prepulses in a startle inhibition paradigmFrauke Nees
Institute of Psychobiology, Department of Clinical Physiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany
Psychophysiology 46:481-6. 2009..We conclude that during PPI testing, prepulses may be subject to aversive conditioning...
Cold pressor stress induces opposite effects on cardioceptive accuracy dependent on assessment paradigmAndré Schulz
Research Group Self Regulation and Health, Research Unit INSIDE, University of Luxembourg, Walferdange, Luxembourg Division of Clinical Psychophysiology, Institute of Psychobiology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany Electronic address
Biol Psychol 93:167-74. 2013..Explanations for these results are offered in terms of internal versus external deployment of attention, as well as specific effects of the cold pressor on the cardiovascular system...
Stability of heart rate variability indices reflecting parasympathetic activityKatja Bertsch
Department of General Psychiatry, Center for Psychosocial Medicine, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Psychophysiology 49:672-82. 2012..An aggregation across at least two measurements may be recommended when using HRV as a transsituationally consistent biomarker or trait...
