The Effect of Evaluating Self's Emotions on Frontal Alpha Asymmetry.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In research to assess emotions from biometric signals, participants are asked to evaluate the emotions they subjectively experienced to confirm whether the assumed emotions were actually elicited. However, the evaluation of emotion may influence the biometric signals related to the emotion itself. While such evaluative processes may function as a form of emotion regulation, which is known to modulate emotional experiences, the neural mechanisms and effects of evaluation itself remain unclear. Specifically, the temporal dynamics of how these evaluations affect emotion-related brain activity in electroencephalography (EEG) have not been investigated. Based on theories of emotional processing and self-focused attention, we hypothesized that emotion evaluations would enhance em
