Abstract
Dynamic and static stimuli could offer unique insights into emotional processing in the brain. This study examines neural responses to emotional stimuli presented as still images compared to videos using EEG methods. By employing steady-state visually evoked potentials (ssVEPs), late positive potential (LPP), and early posterior negativity (EPN) techniques, we hypothesize distinct brain reactions to emotional and neutral stimuli across the two modalities. Arousal and valence ratings from participants demonstrate significant variations across emotional categories. Results indicate that both emotional videos and pictures modulate physiological responses. Correlations of individual scenes and participants found significant relationships across physiological measures. Comparing LPP and ssVEP responses suggest that the two responses measure similar cognitive processes.
