Sponsor's own description

It is accepted that emotional events engage more attention and are detected and identified faster than neutral events. The same is true of negative events with regard to positive events. At the cerebral level, this facilitation results in greater activation of brain regions involved in visual and emotional processing. In normal aging, the preference for the negative stimuli (named negativity bias) tends to disappear and, sometimes, to shifts towards a preference for positive stimuli compared to both the negative and neutral stimuli (positivity bias). Most studies have assessed the age effect on emotional processing using tasks which require the identification of a personal emotional experience or the emotions of others. Although many studies suggest a strong link between emotion and action, relatively little is known about the age effect on emotional processing when the task requires the identification of a tendency to action (i.e. preparation of the individual to react and direction of action - example: fear prepares to avoid danger). ACTEMOVI project aims to identify the brain bases and neural networks involved in the processing of emotional visual information in normal aging when performing emotional appraisal and action-oriented tasks, through a functional MRI study.
