Journal ArticleDOI
Consciousness and arousal effects on emotional face processing as revealed by brain oscillations. A gamma band analysis
TL;DR: A left-posterior dominance for conscious elaboration was found, whereas right hemisphere was discriminant in emotional processing of face in comparison with neutral face, and GBA was enhanced by supraliminal more than subliminal elaboration, as well as more by high arousal than low arousal emotions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Face-selective processing and the effect of pleasant and unpleasant emotional expressions on ERP correlates.
Michela Balconi,Uberto Pozzoli +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that an emotional face elicited a negative peak at approximately 230 ms (N230), distributed mainly over the posterior site for each emotion, suggesting that subjects' ERP variations are affected by experienced emotional intensity, related to arousal and unpleasant value of the stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
EEG correlates (event-related desynchronization) of emotional face elaboration: a temporal analysis.
TL;DR: The findings revealed that emotional discrimination by theta is observable mainly within 150-250 time interval and that it is more distributed on anterior regions, whereas delta is maximally synchronized within 250-350 interval and more posteriorly distributed for all the stimulus type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain oscillations and BIS/BAS (behavioral inhibition/activation system) effects on processing masked emotional cues. ERS/ERD and coherence measures of alpha band.
Michela Balconi,Guido Mazza +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that anterior frontal sites were more active than central and posterior sites in response to facial stimuli, and whereas higher BIS subjects generated a more right hemisphere activation for some negative emotions, Reward-BAS subjects were more responsive to positive emotion within the left hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
What hemodynamic (fNIRS), electrophysiological (EEG) and autonomic integrated measures can tell us about emotional processing
TL;DR: EEG activity was intrinsically associated with the cortical hemodynamic responsiveness to the negative emotional patterns, within the right side, and SCR increased mainly in response to negative patterns, and the autonomic behavior was related to explicit and cortical (NIRS; EEG) activity.
