Patterns of Brain Electrical Activity during Facial Signs of Emotion in 10-Month-Old Infants.
Fox, Nathan A.; Davidson, Richard J.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n2 p230-36 Mar 1988
Examined were electroencephalogram (EEG) asymmetries during the presence of discrete facial signs of emotion among 10-month-old infants who were tested in a standard stranger- and mother-approach paradigm that included a brief separation from mother. Data underscore the usefulness of EEG measures of hemispheric activation in differentiating among certain emotional states. (RH)
