Summary: The article discusses how loneliness alters brain processing of social information and how targeted brain stimulation can shift lonely individuals' subjective evaluation of negative social scenes, revealing a disconnect between brain activity and conscious feelings. It reports on a study using transcranial direct current stimulation on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and examines differences between lonely and non-lonely participants.

Why it matters for psychology: The piece highlights the complex relationship between neural processing and subjective experience in loneliness, illustrating how brain modulation can influence perceived negativity and challenge assumptions about self-awareness in emotion regulation. It also underscores the role of metacognition and lateralized prefrontal functioning in social threat processing.
