Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “Unexpected stimuli may garner more attention, and increased attention can lead to more processing and higher activation (e.g., Bradley et al., 2003; Lane et al., 1999).”
Parallel amygdala and inferotemporal activation reflect emotional intensity and fear relevance (2005, methodology): “Indeed, the ventral visual cortex shows heightened activity during the processing of emotional relative to neutral visual stimuli in humans (Bradley et al., 2003; Breiter et al., 1996; LaBar et al., 2001a,b; Lang et al., 1998; Sabatinelli et al., 2004; Sprengelmeyer et al., 1998) and has”

Gaze Patterns When Looking at Emotional Pictures: Motivationally Biased Attention (2004, background): “Although hedonic valence is a central factor in the basic motives serving the appetitive and the defensive systems of organisms, some recent studies have further distinguished between specific affective components within each broad valence category (Bradley et al., 2003; M.

Neural substrates of smoking cue reactivity: A meta-analysis of fMRI studies (2011, unknown): “…arousing stimuli consistently evoke larger responses than neutral stimuli in these brain regions, a finding that has been interpreted as increased allocation of attentional resources to the processing of the arousing stimuli (Bradley et al., 2003; Lang et al., 1998; Sabatinelli et al., 2007).”
Affective influences on the attentional dynamics supporting awareness. (2005, background): “Recent studies suggest that arousal value may play a critical role in guiding attention (Bradley et al., 2003; Gronau, Cohen, & Ben-Shakhar, 2003; Keil & Ihssen, 2004; Schimmack, in press; Schupp, Junghofer, Weike, & Hamm, 2004).”
Neural correlates of social and nonsocial emotions: An fMRI study (2006, unknown): “Negative disgust facial expressions and immediate threat are reported to elicit increased extrastriate visual cortical activation (Bradley et al., 2003; Simmons et al., 2005).”

Emotion and motivation I: defensive and appetitive reactions in picture processing. (2001, background): “…neural imaging research showing that the functional changes in the brain evoked by affective pictures are specific to the semantic content and are not secondary to formal pictorial features such as brightness, complexity, or color (Bradley et al., 2001; Junghoefer, Bradley, Elbert, & Lang, 2001).”
The facilitated processing of threatening faces: an ERP analysis. (2004, background): “Considering the reliable modulation of the fusiform area by fearful faces and emotional pictures in fMRI studies (e.g., Bradley et al., 2003; Pessoa, Kastner, & Ungerleider, 2002; Vuilleumier, Armony, Driver, & Dolan, 2001 ), these findings suggest that the N170 reflects either earlier processing…”
Emotion and the motivational brain (2009, background): “…and Zeki, 2000; Chao et al., 1999; Gauthier et al., 2003; Grill-Spector et al., 2004) and, as noted previously, we have consistently found greater activation of secondary visual processing centers when people view emotional, compared to neutral, pictures (Bradley et al., 2003; Lang et al., 1998).”

The selective processing of briefly presented affective pictures: an ERP analysis. (2004, background): “…they did not provide detailed temporal resolution, fMRI studies observed increased BOLD signals in the extended visual cortex while subjects view emotional pictures without being explicitly instructed to classify the pictures (cf. Lang et al., 1998; Bradley et al., 2003; Junghöfer et al., 2002).”
Event-Related Potentials, Emotion, and Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review (2010, background): “1 The notion that emotion directs attention, and thereby facilitates subsequent processing, has been described as “motivated attention” (Bradley et al., 2003; Lang et al., 1997; Sabatinelli et al., 2005).”
