Summary

Large-scale neural activity during emotional processes can be measured noninvasively and in real time using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). Both methods have been applied to the study of human affect, yielding information regarding the time course and cerebral correlates of emotional processes. This chapter aims to provide the reader with an understanding of how EEG and MEG may be used in affective neuroscience, including current trends and new methods in this rapidly expanding field. To this end, we discuss the neurophysiological mechanisms and physical origin of electromagnetic brain signals, highlighting methodological challenges and paradigmatic applications of EEG and MEG in affective neuroscience. We also illustrate methodological approaches used by affective neuroscientists, including experimental designs, data-recording procedures, and analytical methods. The chapter concludes by noting major challenges and future directions for EEG and MEG studies in affective neuroscience research.
