[Asymmetry of human EEG: a relationship with the recognition of emotions in speech]
Abstract
EEG asymmetry was studied in 2 groups ofsubjects: with high (group 1) and low (group 2) indexes of identification of emotional speech intonation. The EEG power spectra in the background and during the recognition of emotions were compared in 6 standard frequency bands as well as in separate bands with the step of 1 c/sec. Significant differences were revealed between the groups both in the background and during the recognition of emotions: in the majority of cases the level of activation and the asymmetry indices were higher in the group 2 as compared with the group 1.
