“…Microstates 13, 14, and 15, which ranged from around 300 to 400 ms after stimulus onset, and the last microstate, which ranged from 520 to 600 ms after stimulus onset, are most probably tied to the LPP, even though the local differences in parietal areas were not always present. There has been evidence of different spatial patterns of the LPP course, depending on valence and ER strategy (Desatnik et al, 2017), and our results appear to support that. We could observe a drift of stronger positivity in the Active Viewing Positive condition from centro-parietal areas in the left hemisphere to frontal electrodes in the right hemisphere and back to the large centro-parietal cluster.…”

“…However, findings regarding the direction of influence of ER on ERP components are rather inconsistent, not only due to differences in the electrode positions used for LPP computation. Suppressing emotional expression de-or increased the LPP's amplitude depending on time window, recording site, and the person's age in a study by Desatnik et al (2017), while Yuan et al (2015) identified a generally faster amplitude decrease through expressive suppression than through cognitive reappraisal. The latter did not depend on the person's age in another study but impacted the LPP based on whether the instruction was to up-or downregulate emotions (Langeslag & Van Strien, 2010.…”

In electroencephalography (EEG), microstates are distributions of activity across the scalp that persist for several tens of milliseconds before changing into a different topographical pattern. Microstate analysis is a promising way of utilizing EEG as both temporal and spatial imaging tool, but has mostly been applied to resting state data. This study aimed to conceptually replicate microstate findings of valence and arousal processing and to investigate the effects of emotion regulation on microstates, using existing data of an EEG paradigm with 107 healthy adults who were to actively view emotional pictures, cognitively detach from them, or suppress facial reactions. EEG data were clustered into microstates based on topographical similarity and compared on global and electrode level between conditions of interest. Within the first 600 ms after stimulus onset only the comparison of viewing positive and negative pictures yielded significant global results, caused by different electrodes depending on the microstate. Since the microstates associated with more and less arousing pictures did not differ from each other, sequential processing of valence and arousal information could not be replicated. When extending the analysis to 2,000 ms after stimulus onset, global microstate differences were exclusive to the comparison of viewing and detaching from negative pictures. Intriguingly, we observed the novel phenomenon of a significant global difference that could not be attributed to single electrodes on the local level. This suggests that microstate analysis can detect differences beyond those detected by event-related potential analysis, simply by not confining the analysis to a few electrodes.

“…As far as children and adolescents are concerned, researches have also found that LPP is an effective tool for studying the process and effects of emotion regulation, as well as age development differences [25,36,37], because its characteristics may be able to reflect the staged differences in the brain function and cognitive development of adolescent individuals. Many studies have suggested that when participants of different ages use reappraisal, there are differences in performance in different time windows of LPP [25,38].…”

The immediate effect is an important index of the outcomes of emotion regulation. However, in daily life, whether the effect of emotion regulation lasts and the lasting mechanism have been examined less. The present research focused on the relationships between the immediate and lasting effect of the emotion regulation of adolescents. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from 51 adolescents (31 boys and 20 girls, Mage = 12.82) during online emotion regulation using the Reactivity and Regulation-Image Task (phase 1) and re-presentation of emotional stimuli after a period of time (phase 2). Event-related potentials (ERPs) related to emotion regulation, such as N2, P3, and the late positive potential (LPP), were examined in the two phases. The results showed that: (1) In both of the two phases, in negative emotion conditions, the amplitudes of P3 and LPP 300–600 of no-regulation conditions were significantly higher than those in reappraisal conditions. However, there was no significant difference under neutral conditions; (2) The amplitudes of P3, N2, and LPP 300–600 during emotion regulation in phase 1 positively predicted the amplitudes of P3, N2, and LPP300–600 in phase 2 in different experimental conditions. Results from the regression analysis implied that the immediate effect of online emotion regulation may predict the lasting effect when adolescents face the same emotions again. In addition, our findings provide neurological evidence that the use of cognitive reappraisal could effectively help adolescents to reduce the recruitment of cognitive resources when they regulate negative emotions and when they face those negative emotions again.

“…However, findings regarding the direction of influence of ER on ERP components are rather inconsistent. Results of the LPP depend on time window, recording site, age 38 , not on age but on up- or down-regulation in various ways 39 – 42 , and strategy 37 . Even the perceptual Early Posterior Negativity (EPN), which peaks between 200 and 300 ms after stimulus onset and indicates attention allocation 43 , appears to be either temporally shifted when watching negative stimuli 44 or not affected by ER at all 41 .…”

In electroencephalography (EEG), microstates are distributions of activity across the scalp that persist for several tens of milliseconds before changing into a different pattern. Microstate analysis is a way of utilizing EEG as both temporal and spatial imaging tool, but has rarely been applied to task-based data. This study aimed to conceptually replicate microstate findings of valence and emotional arousal processing and investigate the effects of emotion regulation on microstates, using data of an EEG paradigm with 107 healthy adults who actively viewed emotional pictures, cognitively detached from them, or suppressed facial reactions. Within the first 600 ms after stimulus onset only the comparison of viewing positive and negative pictures yielded significant results, caused by different electrodes depending on the microstate. Since the microstates associated with more and less emotionally arousing pictures did not differ, sequential processing could not be replicated. When extending the analysis to 2000 ms after stimulus onset, differences were exclusive to the comparison of viewing and detaching from negative pictures. Intriguingly, we observed the novel phenomenon of a microstate difference that could not be attributed to single electrodes. This suggests that microstate analysis can detect differences beyond those detected by event-related potential analysis.
