采用EEG测查个体静息状态额叶活动偏侧化的研究发现,额叶活动左侧化程度可能预示情绪调节能力的高低——焦虑和抑郁伴随着额叶活动左侧化减弱;情绪调节能力高的个体额叶活动左侧化强;额叶活动左侧化程度能够预测患焦虑和抑郁的风险;情绪调节增强了左额叶活动;增强左额叶活动的生物反馈训练能够促进情绪调节。未来的研究可致力于证实情绪调节能力的提高会增强额叶活动左侧化,以完善对额叶EEG偏侧成为情绪调节能力指标的论证。
The laterality of frontal EEG would be regarded as an index of the capability of emotion regulation. The present report reviewed literature based on the following findings: individuals with emotion disorder showed decreases in left frontal activity;individuals with high emotion regulation capability showed enhancement of left frontal activity;the EEG activity asymmetry of frontal predicated the risk of anxiety and depression;emotion regulation companied higher left frontal activity;bio-feedback training on increasing left frontal activity prompted emotion regulation. It suggested that future studies should provide findings that higher capability of emotion regulation would prompt left frontal activity,which could help to make a conclusion that the frontal EEG asymmetry serves as an index of the capability of emotion regulation.
