Music and emotion: electrophysiological correlates of the processing of pleasant and unpleasant music. (2007, background): “Corresponding studies either investigate the traitlike frontal alpha asymmetry in the resting EEG of healthy subjects and different patient populations or the asymmetry of anterior cortical activity during stimulusinduced emotional states (for reviews, see Coan & Allen, 2004; Davidson, 1995).”
A Novel Bi-Hemispheric Discrepancy Model for EEG Emotion Recognition (2019, result): “These observations are consistent with the cognition observation in biological psychology [48], [49], namely, the frontal and temporal lobes are the main areas of the brain correlated with emotional activity [8].”
Anger is an approach-related affect: evidence and implications. (2009, methodology): “Once those motivational (and affective) states were created, the participants' brain activity was recorded by EEG. Results from over 70 studies have supported this analysis (see review by Coan & Allen, 2004).”
Event-Related Potentials, Emotion, and Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review (2010, methodology): “Frontal alpha (8–13 Hz) asymmetries have been used to index affective style and differences in emotionality (Allen, Urry, Hitt, & Coan, 2004; Coan & Allen, 2003, 2004; Davidson, 1998; Harmon-Jones, 2003, 2004; Harmon-Jones & Allen, 1998).”
Exploring EEG Features in Cross-Subject Emotion Recognition (2018, background): “Electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements reﬂect the neural oscillations of the central nervous system (CNS) and are directly related to various higher-level cognitive processes (Ward, 2003), including emotion (Coan and Allen, 2004).”
Mindful emotion regulation: An integrative review. (2009, background): “There is an emerging consensus linking emotional dysregulation especially with depression (Ochsner & Gross, 2007; Silk, Steinberg, & Morris, 2003; Strauman, 2002) and anxiety disorders (Coan & Allen, 2004; Mennin, Heimberg, Turk, & Fresco, 2002).”
Cognitive Dissonance Theory After 50 Years of Development (2007, background): “Thus, the increase in approach motivation should activate the left frontal cortex, as much past research has found this cortical region to be involved in approach motivational processes (e.g., Coan & Allen, 2004; Harmon-Jones, 2003).”
Emotional state classification from EEG data using machine learning approach (2014, neutral): “…EEGデータセットの実験結果から，我々はパワースペクトルの特徴は他の 2種類より優れていることを示す．また，線形動的システムに基づく特徴平滑化方法は感情分類精度を大きく向上させることを示し，感情変化の軌跡はマニホールド学習の学習対象に依存しない特徴量を低下させることで，可視化を可能とした． 5 キーワード Emotion classification, Electroencephalograph, Brain?computer interface, Feature reduction, Support vector machine, Manifold learning 6 参考文献”
Developments in Trait Emotional Intelligence Research (2016, result): “…are specifically related to the level of asymmetry in the resting activation of frontal cortical areas of the brain, with higher trait EI individuals showing greater resting left frontal activation, which accords well with broader findings on frontal EEG asymmetry and emotion (Coan & Allen, 2004).”
EEG Based Emotion Recognition: A Tutorial and Review (2022, background): “In addition, the specific phenomena related to emotion in other brain areas and other frequency components have also been reported [57, 58].”
Meditation states and traits: EEG, ERP, and neuroimaging studies. (2006, background): “These outcomes may reflect the relative activation of left and right prefrontal cortices, which indexes emotional tone and motivation such that greater left than right alpha power is associated with greater right frontal hemisphere activation (Coan & Allen, 2004; R. J. Davidson, 1988, 2003).”
The influence of performance feedback on goal-setting and mental effort regulation (2009, background): “Alternatively, the lefthemispheric activation could indicate an approach orientation (see Coan and Allen 2004).”
Cognitive Deficits in Depression and Functional Specificity of Regional Brain Activity (2007, background): “Superimposed on this decrease is an asymmetry with the right more active than the left hemisphere (Henriques & Davidson, 1991; for review, see Coan & Allen, 2004).”
