Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how reappraisal affects emotional experiences and related brain responses, focusing on the Late Positive Potential (LPP) during emotional stimuli presentations.
- When participants reappraised negative images, the LPP was sustained longer, indicating a complex relationship between emotion regulation and neural responses rather than a simple decrease.
- Despite exploring different brainwave characteristics, especially theta oscillations associated with cognitive control, no significant effects were found, suggesting that further research is needed to understand its role in emotional regulation.
Individuals with a locked-in state live with severe whole-body paralysis that limits their ability to communicate with family and loved ones. Recent advances in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have presented a potential alternative for these people to communicate by detecting neural activity associated with attempted hand or speech movements and translating the decoded intended movements to a control signal for a computer. A technique that could potentially enrich the communication capacity of BCIs is functional electrical stimulation (FES) of paralyzed limbs and face to restore body and facial movements of paralyzed individuals, allowing to add body language and facial expression to communication BCI utterances.
