The Effect of Evaluating Self's Emotions on Frontal Alpha Asymmetry
Frontal alpha asymmetry, a measure of relative frontal brain activity, was significantly lower in the condition in which participants rated their own emotions compared to the condition in which they ....

📢 New publication!
We investigated how evaluating one’s own emotions affects brain activity during emotional processing. EEG results showed that self-evaluation may enhance early negative emotional processing, as reflected by changes in frontal alpha asymmetry.
Take a look!

Chic vibes in Oklahoma City and shooting practice in Tulsa.
It was a long and tough journey — but I had a great time!

I decided to drive halfway across the country!
Starting in Los Angeles, I’m planning to make it back to Oklahoma in five days. I might post about it along the way!
I’ve landed safely in LA. Let’s go!
