“…Also, the IRI-F scores were negatively correlated for the others-task in men and for the selftask in women. Altavilla et al [49] found no introspection effect regarding the LC1 and LC2 amplitude.…”

“…There was also the inclusion of frequent and infrequent players of violent games [47], as well as an ADHD group and a typical control group [48]. Altavilla et al [49] divided their sample into a control and introspection group, in which the latter received an introspective writing task for 7 days, while the control group only had to describe their days. with IRI-EC for happy, angry, surprised, and afraid faces; with IRI-Total for angry and surprised faces.…”

“…Still, a P200 modulation was reported in both control and neglectful mothers, resulting in an increased positivity for crying expressions in both groups, when compared with laughing and neutral expressions. Altavilla et al [49] divided a sample into two groups-a control group, who had to spend 7 days writing freely about their day, and an introspection group, who had to write about their emotions and internal motivations for 7 days. The aim was to improve the accuracy of the empathic process, explored through the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" task [79] performed in the first moment and again following 7 days.…”

Empathy is a crucial component to infer and understand others’ emotions. However, a synthesis of studies regarding empathy and its neuronal correlates in perceptual tasks using event-related potentials (ERPs) has yet to occur. The current systematic review aimed to provide that overview. Upon bibliographic research, 30 studies featuring empathy assessments and at least one perceptual task measuring ERP components in healthy participants were included. Four main focus categories were identified, as follows: Affective Pictures, Facial Stimuli, Mental States, and Social Language. The Late Positive Potential was the most analyzed in Affective Pictures and was reported to be positively correlated with cognitive and affective empathy, along with other late components. In contrast, for Facial Stimuli, early components presented significant correlations with empathy scales. Particularly, the N170 presented negative correlations with cognitive and affective empathy. Finally, augmented N400 was suggested to be associated with higher empathy scores in the Mental States and Social Language categories. These findings highlight the relevance of early perceptual stages of empathic processing and how different EEG/ERP methodologies provide relevant information.
