| 題目(Title) | Physiological measures during emotion processing in the assessment of people with mental and neurodevelopmental disorders |
| 概要(Abstract) | In people with mental illness, interaction problems can frequently be identified. It was theorized that reasons for problems social interaction in patients with mental illness can be found in the disturbed perception and processing as well as imitation (mimicry) of body signals. In the last years, specifically for people with autism, the investigation of interaction problems including the measurement of bodily signals in reaction to the complex interactions has been identified as a means to help in diagnosis of developmental and mental disorders. In the talk, I will present studies that examined patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and depression. Here, marker signals for social exchange during interactional tasks (emotion recognition, trust/investment game) were measured: muscle movements in the face using an electromyography (EMG) examination, pupil size and heart rate variability (HRV) of the participants. This included also the use of avatars. The research serves to identify theoretical foundations of social interaction and to test new theories on the connection between body signals and the development of attachment, but in the long term also to improve the way we deal with patients and train their social interaction skills. |
