! misophonia trait impact on effectiveness of conditioning/extinction procedures? how about generalizability of associations ( possible explanation )

Comments

it is worth noting that despite how popular the “classical conditioning” hypothesis for miso etiology is, it has some major problems. specifically, a lack of reports of conditioning events to form the initial association, and a lack of explanation for how/why the associations persist.
additionally, given the possible cognitive basis of misophonia responses i.e Misophonics responding only when they think the a stimulus is a trigger source ( see (Samermit et al., 2022)).
also note research suggesting that individual differences in traits can influence the effectives of coding/extinction procedures and possibility influence generalization of associations ( see notes for exp2 of learning research proposal ). maybe misophonia is associated with traits that increases susceptibility to fear conditioning/ attenuate extinction?

! develop a measure of miso responses themselves
- ! Are there neural indicators of Misophonia intensity. specifically, can eeg be used as a objective measure of the intensity of a miso trigger? see this note and this alt vault source
! looking into how different methods of degrading misophonia signals ( to produce different types of miss identification) impacts the misophonia response zettle]
- ? could try manipulating the triggers envelope like (Savard et al., 2022) did.
! does musicality impact misophonia symptoms? idea comes from a study that found reduced self reports of miso for musicians that practice 1-7 hours a day
replicate/expand on finding increased noise annoyance in people with misophonia? see (Paunović & Milenković, 2021)
EEG validation of previously hypothesized neurological explanations
Quote
generalization of the disruption of triggers on task performance across task/modality types
triggers cause disruptive imagery? if so then could triggers disrupt processes for imagery in that modality?
are their predictors (temperamental/environmental)for individual variability in misophonia triggers/responses (both in what triggers/resposnes one has and in regards to intensity)
is misophonia symptomology is linked with slow processing speed in non-triggering circumstances.
look at the notes from (Neacsiu et al., 2022) on possible TMS stuff

TMS stimulation of hypothesized brain areas have any effect on symptoms
- ? possible issues with null results being because we failed to properly stimulate areas. also, most areas thought too be involved are too deep to reach with out TMS system.
