Abstract:Past research on gender‐related brain asymmetries in emotions was limited and not univocal. The present study analyzed EEG alpha activity (indexing cortical de‐activation) from 64 scalp sites in 20 women and 20 men during a counterbalanced block presentation of emotional slides and short video‐clips.

Slides consisted in 45 photo shots (presented for 13 s each) extracted from the videos.… Show more
