Electroencephalogram asymmetry during emotionally evocative films and its relation to positive and negative affectivity

Children’s Depressive Symptoms in Relation to EEG Frontal Asymmetry and Maternal Depression

“…Although the change in frontal EEG power from baseline to film conditions did indicate the increase in EEG activity during the film conditions, it is unclear whether or how intensely children experienced the emotion that each film clip was designed to induce. The lack of difference between happy and sad film conditions was inconsistent with prior literature, from studies of adults, suggesting relative left frontal asymmetry in response to positive (happy) stimuli and right frontal asymmetry in response to negative (sad) stimuli (e.g., Jones & Fox, 1992). Findings from child studies are not consistent, however.…”

Impact of negative links on the structural balance of brain functional network during emotion processing

“…In addition, the differential amount of negative links was mostly observed in the networks of theta and beta frequency bands. These findings are compatible with the previous studies on brain connectivity during emotion processing that have shown the emergence of the theta frequency band 21 – 24 , 26 , 46 , and changes in beta waves 23 , 24 , 38 , 43 , 44 during low/high levels of valence.…”

Experiencing affective music in eyes-closed and eyes-open states: an electroencephalography study

“…The dynamic emotional stimuli used in our study may have a different impact on the right and left amygdala, thereby modulating the temporal alpha asymmetry. This view is in line with the finding that the emotion valence of dynamic stimuli such as movie clips was associated with the temporal alpha asymmetry ( Davidson et al, 1990 ; Jones and Fox, 1992 ; Park et al, 2011 ; Lindquist et al, 2012 ).…”
