Presenter: Professor Luo Yuejia
Topic: Brain Cognitive Mechanism of Emotion and Executive Function
Overview of the Lecture:
Emotion is a complex psychophy-siological phenomenon that reflects the interaction between mental state and the influence of the individual's internal and external environment. Executive function refers to the general control mechanism for coordinating various cognitive processes when completing complex cognitive tasks, the essence of which is to control and regulate other cognitive processes. Its fundamental purpose is to produce coordinated and purposeful behavior. Broadly speaking, executive functions include attention, working memory, decision making, and several different processing processes such as suppression and conflict. This report will review the research work of the research group in recent years on emotions and attention, working memory, conflict, inhibition, deception, etc., to reveal the interaction between emotion and executive function and its potential neural basis. Moreover, based on this, a “dynamic brain network model of emotions and executive control interactions” is put forward, which helps the further understanding of the emotional and cognitive brain mechanisms.
