Review on Psychological Stress Detection Using Biosignals (2019, background): “Conversely, situations associated with affective states of positive valence have been shown to elicit greater relative left frontal power [33, 37].”
An Efficient LSTM Network for Emotion Recognition From Multichannel EEG Signals (2020, methodology): “However, the frontal asymmetry has been considered to be correlated with the arousal dimension and the valence dimension of emotion in [58], [59], [60]; therefore, we applied the attention mechanism to select emotionrelated electrodes dynamically.”
Anxiety and affective style: role of prefrontal cortex and amygdala. (2002, background): “…and Davidson 1997), repressive defensiveness (Tomarken and Davidson 1994), reactivity to positive and negative emotion elicitors (Tomarken et al 1990; Wheeler et al 1993), baseline immune function (Kang et al 1991), and reactivity of the immune system to emotional challenge (Davidson et al 1999b).”
EmotionMeter: A Multimodal Framework for Recognizing Human Emotions (2019, background): “asymmetry has been found to correlate with emotional valence in [64] and [65], we found that the frontal electrodes did not greatly contribute to enhancing classification performance”
"Change the mind and you change the brain": effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the neural correlates of spider phobia (2003, background): “Alternatively, it is plausible that, in keeping with Davidson’s model, the right prefrontal cortical activation seen here reflected a withdrawal response linked to a negative affect such as fear (Davidson et al., 1990; Tomarken et al., 1992; Wheeler et al., 1993).”
Frontal EEG asymmetry as a moderator and mediator of emotion. (2004, positive): “…characterized by greater right-than-left frontal activity seem to be associated with traits and behaviors indicative of withdrawal behaviors (e.g., Wheeler et al., 1993), and since the emotion of fear is considered by many to be an emotion with withdrawal-related motivational properties (e.g.,…”
