Emotion and motivation I: Defensive and appetitive reactions in picture processing
Bradley, Codispoti, Cuthbert and Lang measured affective responses while participants viewed pictures with varied emotional and neutral content. Reports of the strongest arousal and the largest skin conductance responses came with the same set of arousing pictures, which spanned unpleasant and pleasant content. Startle reflex modulation and skin conductance change varied with arousal, whereas facial patterns were content specific. Emotion 1(3), 276-298, 2001.
