Models of brain asymmetry in emotional processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two models of brain asymmetry in emotional processing were reviewed: the right hemisphere and the valence hypotheses. The first states a dominant role for the right hemisphere in emotional processing, whereas the second assumes that the left hemisphere is dominant for positive emotions and the right hemisphere for negative ones. Different methods, such as the divided visual field technique, have supported both hypotheses. The amygdala and the prefrontal cortex are presented as important structures involved on brain asymmetry in emotional processing. The paper ends pointing out new perspectives for the study of the neural subtrates of different components of emotions.

متن کاملFacial Asymmetry and Emotional Expression
This project is about facial asymmetry, its connection to emotional expression, and methods of measuring facial asymmetry in videos of faces. The research was motivated by two factors: firstly, there was a real opportunity to develop a novel measure of asymmetry that required minimal human involvement and that improved on earlier measures in the literature; and secondly, the study of the relati...

Introduction Many features, emerging from mathematical techniques, have been used in the analysis of brain signals. In this study, the physical quantity of “moment of inertia” (MOI) was introduced as a feature to enhance high-frequency waves (HFWs) in electroencephalography (EEG). Materials and Methods In this research, the recorded EEGs from F3, F4, and Cz points in 20 males were used. A total...

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the brain asymmetry and coherence between healthy controls and patients with alexithymia. Twenty four volunteers (14 alexithymic patients and 10 normal volunteers) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Farsi version of Toronto Alexithymia ...
متن کاملAttachment Representations and Brain Asymmetry during the Processing of Autobiographical Emotional Memories in Late Adolescence
Frontal and parietal asymmetries have repeatedly been shown to be related to specific functional mechanisms involved in emotion regulation. From a developmental perspective, attachment representations based on experiences with the caregiver are theorized to serve regulatory functions and influence how individuals deal with emotionally challenging situations throughout the life span. This study ...
