Optimistic update bias increases in older age.
TLDR
An age-related reduction in updating beliefs when older adults are faced with undesirable, but not desirable, information about negative events is demonstrated and a greater update bias in healthy older age is shown.Abstract:
Healthy older adults report greater well-being and life satisfaction than their younger counterparts. One potential explanation for this is enhanced optimism. We tested the influence of age on optimistic and pessimistic beliefs about the future and the associated structural neural correlates.read more

Forming Beliefs: Why Valence Matters
Tali Sharot,Neil Garrett +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed suggesting that different rules and mechanisms underlie learning from desirable and undesirable information, which generates a positive bias for self-relevant beliefs and describes the boundaries of this asymmetry.

Errors in Probabilistic Reasoning and Judgment Biases
TL;DR: This article reviewed theory and evidence on this topic, with the goal of facilitating more systematic study of belief biases and their integration into economics, and drew general lessons for when people update too much or too little, reflecting on modeling challenges, and highlighting some possible directions for future work.

Losing the rose tinted glasses: Neural substrates of unbiased belief updating in depression
Neil Garrett,Tali Sharot,Paul Faulkner,Christoph W. Korn,Jonathan P. Roiser,Raymond J. Dolan +5 more
TL;DR: Brain imaging is used in conjunction with a belief update task administered to clinically depressed patients and healthy controls to characterize brain activity that supports unbiased belief updating in clinically depressed individuals.

The effects of SNS communication
TL;DR: Results support the presence of effects from expressing and receiving MERS-related information via SNSs and their underlying mechanism during South Korea’s MERS outbreak.

Automated Anatomical Labeling of Activations in SPM Using a Macroscopic Anatomical Parcellation of the MNI MRI Single-Subject Brain
Nathalie Tzourio-Mazoyer,B. Landeau,D. Papathanassiou,Fabrice Crivello,Octave Etard,Nicolas Delcroix,Bernard Mazoyer,Marc Joliot +7 more
TL;DR: An anatomical parcellation of the spatially normalized single-subject high-resolution T1 volume provided by the Montreal Neurological Institute was performed and it is believed that this tool is an improvement for the macroscopical labeling of activated area compared to labeling assessed using the Talairach atlas brain.

A fast diffeomorphic image registration algorithm
TL;DR: DARTEL has been applied to intersubject registration of 471 whole brain images, and the resulting deformations were evaluated in terms of how well they encode the shape information necessary to separate male and female subjects and to predict the ages of the subjects.

User-guided 3D active contour segmentation of anatomical structures: Significantly improved efficiency and reliability
Paul A. Yushkevich,Joseph Piven,Heather C. Hazlett,Rachel Gimpel Smith,Sean Ho,James C. Gee,Guido Gerig +6 more
TL;DR: The methods and software engineering philosophy behind this new tool, ITK-SNAP, are described and the results of validation experiments performed in the context of an ongoing child autism neuroimaging study are provided, finding that SNAP is a highly reliable and efficient alternative to manual tracing.

Distinguishing optimism from neuroticism (and trait anxiety, self-mastery, and self-esteem): a reevaluation of the Life Orientation Test
TL;DR: Examination of the scale on somewhat different grounds, however, does suggest that future applications can benefit from its revision, and a minor modification to the Life Orientation Test is described, along with data bearing on the revised scale's psychometric properties.

Cognitive and emotional influences in anterior cingulate cortex
TL;DR: Various findings are reviewed in relation to the idea that ACC is a part of a circuit involved in a form of attention that serves to regulate both cognitive and emotional processing, and how the success of this regulation in controlling responses might be correlated with cingulate size.
