Presentation theme:
Being Sherlock Holmes: Reading minds from clues in Behaviour
This talk summarizes research into people’s ability to guess what happened to someone (a target) from clues in their reaction, something known as ‘retrodictive mindreading.’ People are surprisingly good at doing this and in the presentation I will report new findings showing that people can infer whether another (the target) is accompanied or alone just by observing how they react to provocative stimuli. I will also demonstrate that people can determine which emotional expression a target is looking at by observing how the target naturally and spontaneously mirrors the expression of the face they are viewing. Furthermore, I will report how well people can determine what a target is thinking, suggesting that their thoughts are externalised as interpretable clues in the target’s face and body language.

Presentation theme:
Inclusive Perspectives on Mental Health Strategies and Actions for people with Developmental Intellectual Disabilities
The WHO European Mental Health Action Plan (2013-2020) states, “Everyone has an equal opportunity to experience mental wellbeing throughout their lifespan, particularly those who are most vulnerable or at risk”. Further, the strategy emphasizes on mental health promotion, prevention of mental health disorders as well as empowerment of service users and carers, defined as prominent priority areas. Obviously people with Developmental Intellectual Disabilities (DID) are included in the descriptor “most vulnerable or at risk”, as prevalence figures for mental health disorders are reported globally considerably above the figures of the population without DID. In addition, there is substantial evidence that mental health is more than a biological health issue. Sustainable mental health relates to a vast number of factors such as social, economic and environmental factors. Further, it is well documented that mental well-being contributes to healthier lifestyles, meaningful participation in daily life, better relationship and more social cohesion. Against this background, advanced evidence based knowledge on preventing mental health issues will be analyzed. In addition, areas like early detection and differential diagnosis are addressed, and frameworks of etiological models presented. Finally, actions and practices to prevent mental health disorders and to strengthen mental well-being will be highlighted.

Presentation theme:
Distracted by emotion: Biasing competition for processing resources by emotional stimuli in early visual cortex of the human brain
In everyday life we are confronted with complex environmental settings that require highly adaptive interactions. Pivotal for adaptive behavior is to extract and process relevant sensory information while one has to ignore all other information that is not behaviorally relevant at a given moment. Emotional stimuli, relative to other visual stimuli, provide pivotal information about potential danger or threat that trigger defensive actions, or, conversely, prompt approach behavior when confronted with pleasant and appetitive stimuli. Therefore, emotional stimuli are assumed to have competitive processing advantages due to their intrinsic stimulus significance. In a number of studies we found clear evidence for a prioritized role for emotional stimulus processing in visual cortex. On the one hand, I will present studies that demonstrate that emotional stimuli serve as potent distractors when subjects are involved in a demanding visual detection task. On the other hand, our studies demonstrate that emotional compared to non-emotional stimuli attract more attentional resources, signifying preferential processing. Furthermore, our studies suggest that competition for processing resources relies on higher-order cognitive processes, such as the extraction of the emotional content of a certain image.
