Infection-related images reduce cortical edge metastability: a specification-curve analysis of a block-design fMRI study
Cues of infection evoke disgust, attentional capture, withdrawal and shifts in social orientation, a set of responses attributed to the behavioral immune system. Responses this varied have to be coordinated, as the effects of inflammation are, so they should be visible in whole-cortex coupling. We predicted that infection-related images hold cortical dynamics in a narrower repertoire, reducing…
