Abstract

This research examined whether midfrontal EEG asymmetry(FBA) influenced event related potential(ERP) to affective stimuli. Participants completed both Positive and Negative Affect Schedule(PANAS) and behavioral inhibition system and behavioral activation system(BIS/BAS) scales. Following resting FBA measure, ERPs were recorded while participants viewed International Affective System(IAPS) stimuli. Positive, negative and neutral pictures were used as infrequently occurring target stimuli and control pattern stimuli were used as frequent standard stimuli in oddball paradigm.. The P300 and late positive potential(LPP) components of the ERPs elicited by three types of affective pictures and control stimuli were analysed. Affective pictures elicited significantly higher ERPs relative to control stimuli. Compared to the right midfrontal activation group, the left midfrontal activation group exhibited higher ERPs to positive pictures and higher PA and BAS, but lower ERPs to negative pictures and lower BIS. FBA, BAS and BIS are significantly correlated with ERP components. In hierarchical regression analysis, FBA predicted higher ERPs to positive pictures and lower ERPs to negative pictures whereas BIS predicted higher ERPs to negative pictures. This results suggest that the trait motivational direction hypothesis is more plausible than the valence hypothesis to explain the mechanisms of frontal brain asymmetry in processing emotional stimuli.
