Emotion/mood regulation

During a self-induced emotional imagery experiment, EEG activity was recorded and analyzed for differences between target emotion. Results show strikingly consistent spectral characters in periods of time categorized by the target emotion. Understanding brain patterns associated with emotional states will be helpful in detecting and/or ameliorating emotion regulation disorders, potentially through the use of EEG biofeedback. Below is an example of how different emotions can be separated in 2 dimensions, in this case by alpha and gamma band activity.
