a 2017 study by Kumar and colleagues examined structural and functional brain abnormalities in Misophonics. this was accomplished through controlled exposure to 3 sound classes ( triggers, generally aversive, neutral) while fMRI, heart rate, galvanic skin response, and subjective self reports were collected. analysis of the self report data showed no significant difference between Misophonic trigger ratings for the Misophonic group and the ratings of annoyance for the  unpleasant sounds in the control group. however the authors suggest that this is a result of the two groups using different subjective scales when rating the sounds.  (Kumar et al., 2017)
