Early findings from the specific project have revealed that
emotional processing of visual stimuli is a complex task which
differs between males and females. Moreover, there are certain
neural circuits either located in specific brain regions or widely
dispersed which are being affected by the valence dimension or by the arousal dimension in certain time intervals during the
processing procedure [24].
The level of statistical importance of the aforementioned variables
during different temporal intervals is visualized in Figure 3.
The data of the electrodermal activity provided autonomic indices
dealing with the emotional processing. Early results from the first
phase, which are visualized in Figure 4, revealed that negative
stimuli and especially fear-related pictures elicit faster responses
than the positive ones, while subjects respond stronger to the
highly arousing events [24].
