The neural chronometry of threat-related attentional bias: Event-related potential (ERP) evidence for early and late stages of selective attentional processing
Rapid and accurate detection of threat is adaptive. Yet, threat-related attentional biases,
including hypervigilance, avoidance, and attentional disengagement delays, may contribute …

The frequency of alpha oscillations: task-dependent modulation and its functional significance
Power (amplitude) and frequency are two important characteristics of EEG alpha oscillations
(8–12 Hz). There is an extensive literature showing that alpha power can be modulated in a …

Selective visual attention to emotional pictures: Interactions of task‐relevance and emotion are restricted to the late positive potential
S Schindler, T Straube - Psychophysiology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The temporal dynamics of top‐down voluntary and bottom‐up driven emotional attention are
a matter of debate. Both emotion and task‐relevance have been shown to affect the early …

Arousal modulates valence effects on both early and late stages of affective picture processing in a passive viewing task
Valence and arousal are primary dimensions of affective stimuli. An interaction of these two
factors on affective processing is largely unknown. In this study, the processing of affective …
