Impulsivity and frontal asymmetry in substance-dependent individuals.
Right-frontal cortical activity at rest has been associated with impulsive and aggressive behaviors. Impulsivity has also been shown to play an important role in substance dependence as an antecedent and consequence of drug use. Past research has suggested that impulsivity is a multi-dimensional …

Physical Activity Engagement Linked Linked to Frontal Asymmetry During Approach-Avoidance Decision Making
… activity can predict patterns of lateralized frontal cortical activity at rest measured by electroencephalography (EEG). These lateralized brain activity patterns are linked to motivational systems proposed by Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) thought to govern behavioral approach, …

Neurophysiological and Personality Correlates of Sleep and Quality of Life
… possible relationships among sleep, BIS/BAS, EEG frontal asymmetry, and health-related quality of life. Methods: The current study analyzed a data set consisting of 75 healthy undergraduate students who were enrolled in a psychology or neuroscience course (Ages: 18-39, M = 20.15, SD = 3.01). The …

The cognitive and neural basis of suicide : investigating factors that help to identify individuals at risk
… explored further in an EEG study that measured frontal asymmetry in a series of cognitive tasks. It was postulated that lateralized brain activity may account for the executive function impairments in suicidal individuals as frontal asymmetry has been shown to relate to differential executive …

Cognitive Reappraisal in Middle Childhood
… CR and child CR moderated by child baseline frontal EEG asymmetry, as hypothesized. Post-hoc analyses revealed that parent CR moderated the association between child baseline frontal EEG asymmetry and task-related frontal EEG asymmetry, such that children presenting with left frontal …

Positive mood and cognition: the moderating role of appetitive motivation, neural and physiological correlates
… the effect of these mood inductions on left frontal asymmetry in alpha power, assessed using EEG, and the relationship between this and EBR. Appetitive motivation was found to moderate the influence of positive mood on divergent thinking in creativity, in line with the directional predictions …

The Impact of Fearfulness on Childhood Memory: Attention, Effortful Control, and Visual Recognition Memory
… behavioral acts were associated with right frontal asymmetry. VRM performance was also associated with more right frontal functioning. Fearfulness regulated the relation between attention and VRM as well as moderated the relation between effortful control and VRM. This study provided some …

Frontal cortical asymmetry and impulsive aggression.
… aggressive outbursts and measures resting frontal cortical activity. Impulsive aggression (IA) is described as a reactive or emotionally charged aggressive response characterized by a loss of behavioral control. Previous physiological studies have found IAs have sensory and informational …

A Neurophysiological Approach to Differentiate Core Disgust and Moral Disgust
… that there would be similar cerebral asymmetry, heart rate, and heart rate variability patterns between contamination-related core disgust and bodily moral disgust and between anger and non-bodily moral disgust. Although the results of this study did not fully support these hypotheses, …

Late Childhood Predictors of Adolescent Cognitive Reappraisal: Impacts on Adolescent Depressive Symptoms
… individual factors of executive function and frontal EEG asymmetry during late childhood, and environmental factors of parenting in adolescence, as predictors of adolescent CR and depressive symptoms. Data were from 123 participants in late childhood (age 10) and adolescence (age 14.5). During …

Detecting Cardiovascular Emotional Dampening: An Exploration of Emotional Dampening at Different Levels of Emotion Processing
… how emotional dampening might be related to frontal asymmetry. Method: Eighty-four (51 women) healthy undergraduate students were asked to complete a series of self-report inventories related to state affect, alexithymia, behavioral avoidance, and behavioral approach. They were also asked to …

EEG Asymmetries in Survivors of Severe Motor Accidents: Association with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and its Treatment as well as Posttraumatic Growth
… of brain function) and PTG. Theories of brain asymmetry and emotion (Davidson, 1998b, 2004b; Heller, Koven, & Miller, 2003) propose that asymmetries of brain activation are related to certain features of human emotion (e.g. valence, approach or withdrawal tendencies, arousal). Whereas an …

Origins of empathy development in infancy
… 2 expands on the previous results by examining frontal asymmetry patterns linked to infants’ affective and behavioral responses to a peer crying and a peer laughing. Eight-month-old infants underwent two assessment sessions on separate days, in which electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral …
