Being yelled at: Our brain on alert in a flash

(Université de Genève) What happens within the brain when it perceives a threatening signal, such as an aggressive voice? Researchers from UNIGE studied brain activity during the processing of various emotional voices. They discovered that we notice a voice much faster when it is considered threatening than when it is perceived as normal or happy. Our attention is more focused on threatening voices to enable us to clearly recognize the location of the potential threat.
