Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Given the developing awareness of the lateral specialization of the human brain for both cognitive and emotional processes, the recent findings of characteristic hemispheric asymmetries in psychopathological groups suggests a neuropsychological model may be explanatory for abnormal psychology. Since the activity of arousal systems of the brain is a primary issue in interpreting both biochemical abnormalities and thought disorders in psychopathology, electroencephalographic (EEG) measures of cortical arousal are relevant. A better understanding of the relation of EEG measures to normal emotional arousal and cognitive effort may facilitate interpretation of the functional significance of EEG asymmetries in psychopathology. |
