Abstract:
Misophonia is commonly classified by intense emotional reactions to common everyday sounds. The condition has an impact both on the mental health of its sufferers and societally. As yet, formal models on the basis of misophonia are in their infancy. Based on developing behavioural and neuroscientific research we are gaining a growing understanding of the phenomenology and empirical findings in misophonia, such as the importance of context, types of coping strategies used and the activation of particular brain regions. In this article, we argue for a model of misophonia that includes not only the sound but also the context within which sound is perceived and the emotional reaction triggered. We review the current behavioural and neuroimaging literature, which lends support to this idea. Based on the current evidence, we propose that misophonia should be understood within the broader context of social perception and cognition, and not restricted within the narrow domain of being a disorder of auditory processing. We discuss the evidence in support of this hypothesis, as well as the implications for potential treatment approaches. This article is part of the theme issue \'Sensing and feeling: an integrative approach to sensory processing and emotional experience\'.
摘要:
Misophonia通常通过对常见日常声音的强烈情绪反应来分类。这种情况对患者的心理健康和社会都有影响。到目前为止,基于音差的形式化模型还处于起步阶段。在发展行为和神经科学研究的基础上,我们正在对异音的现象学和经验发现有越来越多的了解,比如语境的重要性,使用的应对策略类型和特定大脑区域的激活。在这篇文章中,我们主张建立一个不发音的模型,它不仅包括声音,还包括声音被感知和引发情绪反应的背景。我们回顾了当前的行为和神经影像学文献,这支持了这个想法。根据目前的证据,我们建议应该在更广泛的社会感知和认知背景下理解误解,并且不限于听觉处理障碍的狭窄范围内。我们讨论支持这一假设的证据,以及对潜在治疗方法的影响。本文是主题为“感觉和感觉:感觉处理和情感体验的综合方法”的一部分。
