From: The Late Positive Potentials Evoked by Cigarette-Related and Emotional Images Show no Gender Differences in Smokers

Figure 1

Affectively significant images (including cigarette-related images) prompt larger Late Positive Potentials (LPPs) than neutral images. Cigarette-related images prompt lower LPPs than high arousing emotional images. Panel A depicts ERP waveforms for each picture category (averaged across both women and men). The box highlights the time region of interest (ROI) used to compute the LPP across the electrodes highlighted in the inset. Panel B shows mean LPP from 400 to 800 ms post stimulus onset for each picture category. Note: Cig = Cigarettes, Ero = Erotic, Rom = Romantic, Neu = Neutral, Sad = Sad People, Acc = Accidents, Mut = Mutilations. Error bars denote 0.95 confidence intervals.
