Overview

Auditory responses vary with emotional content in individuals with misophonia, suggesting altered attentional processing.

Key Points

  • ASSR amplitude increased when paired with pleasant or unpleasant sounds, reflecting emotional influence on auditory processing.
  • Participants with high misophonia sensitivity showed reduced ASSR to orofacial sounds compared to lower sensitivity participants.
  • Analysis included pupil dilation and alpha-band changes, highlighting differences in emotional sound perception between groups.
  • Findings support the idea that misophonia may alter how individuals process emotional and competitive auditory stimuli.
