Associations between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Covert and Overt Attention Bias Through Eye-Tracking and Visual Dot Probe
… between FNE and two indices of attention bias (dot probe and eye-tracking). In addition, this study examines differences in attention bias between a clinically confirmed group of youth SAD and healthy controls. A significant group difference in average latency to fixate on angry faces was found …

PREFRONTAL CORTEX ACTIVITY DURING ATTENTIONAL BIAS CONDITIONING WITH FEARFUL FACES: A NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY ANALYSIS
… a colored square with a fearful face in the dot-probe task. Orienting toward and disengagement from fearful faces was also examined using the dot-probe task. In addition, hemodynamic responses in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). It was …

An Assessment of Frontal Lobe Activity and BDNF Levels Following Concussion in Collegiate Athletes: A Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study
… prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity during the dot-probe task of affective attentional bias. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels are related to frontal lobe activity, recovery from brain injury, attention, and affective processing. Therefore, BDNF levels were collected to assess …
