Consumer neuroscience for marketing researchers (2018, background): “Conscious self‐reporting does not enable adequate recollection or assessment of complex emotions or affective processes, and therefore, they need to be used with caution and supplemented by other more appropriate multimethod research tools (Davidson, 2004).”
Interactions between emotion regulation strategies and affective style: Implications for trait anxiety versus depressed mood (2007, background): “Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish where emotion leaves off and emotion regulation begins because regulatory processes are intrinsic to emotion and partially share behavioral and neurological underpinnings (Cole et al. 2004; Cole et al. 1994; Davidson 2004; Gross 2002).”
Stress and EEG (2010, background): “Recent EEG research on emotion has focused on relationships between dorsolateral prefrontal asymmetry and a dispositional tendency toward positive or negative affects (Davidson 2004).”
Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion (2012, neutral): “This interpretation seems less likely, however, given that this motivation-related prefrontal asymmetry is commonly observed in EEG 111 but not in fMRI studies 19 .”
Taking stock of the developmental literature on shame (2005, background): “However, although there is evidence that activation of the right prefrontal areas is associated with the experience and expression of negative, withdrawal-related emotions (Davidson, 2004; Davidson, Jackson, & Kalin, 2000), and shame does appear to be associated with a stress response (Dickerson et ”
Cognitive Deficits in Depression and Functional Specificity of Regional Brain Activity (2007, background): “This asymmetry parallels numerous EEG studies comparing depressed and nondepressed individuals (Davidson, 2004), although it was the first fMRI replication of it using a direct, robust test of asymmetry.”
The neurobiology of positive emotions. (2006, background): “Additional evidence for the laterality of PA comes from EEG studies, with generalized PA states associated with increased left cortical power in the alpha frequency compared to the right hemisphere, and generalized negative affective states associated with decreased left cortical activation (Davidso”
The contribution of neuroscience to consumer research: A conceptual framework and empirical review (2013, background): “Specifically, EEG studies have provided important empirical support about the left frontal cortex being involved in a system that motivates approach behaviour (Davidson, 2004).”
EEG-Based Emotion Recognition in Music Listening (2010, background): “As noted in [34], there was still other EEG spectral power in different bands that may provide additional information about”
The mind of expert motor performance is cool and focused (2007, background): “A possible interpretation of the activation seen in limbic regions of novices could suggest that the " emotional content " during the pre-shot routine is higher in this group than in experts (Davidson, 2004).”
Visual Attention and Brain Processes That Underlie Expert Performance: Implications for Sport and Military Psychology (2008, background): “It is well established that the prefrontal cortex has extensive anatomical connections with subcortical limbic structures, particularly the amygdalae, although the communication is indirectly achieved via the anterior cingulate region ( Davidson, 2002, 2004 ).”
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “…reference electrode and individual differences, etc; and (ii) conceptual issues is related to the fact that prefrontal cortex is an anatomically and functionally heterogeneous and complex region interacts with other cortical and subcortical structures during emotional processing (Davidson, 2004).”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “State-based increases in anger also produce greater alpha asymmetry (HarmonJones, Gable, & Peterson, 2010), however it has been argued that such changes could reflect adaptive efforts to overcome thwarted goals rather than reflect negative valence (Davidson, 2004).”
Handbook of Approach and Avoidance Motivation (2008, background): “…in the examination of the role of frontal EEG asymmetry in relation to emotional valence (Coan & Allen, 2004; Harmon-Jones, 2003), motivation (Davidson, 1995, 2004; Davidson, Jackson, & Kalin, 2000a; Harmon-Jones, 2004) and affect disorders, such as depression and anxiety (Gotlib, Ranganath,…”
Predicting Advertising success beyond Traditional Measures: New Insights from Neurophysiological Methods and Market Response Modeling (2015, background): “Similarly, the relationship between affect and hemispheric asymmetries in frontal brain activity has a long history in psychology and neuroscience (Davidson 2004; Demaree et al. 2005; Harmon-Jones, Gable, and Peterson 2010).”
