Brain region

Selected electrodes

Primary functions in emotion recognition

Prefrontal cortex

FP1, FP2, F3, F4

Emotional regulation, valence assessment, executive control, and affective decision-making processes

Central cortex

C3, C4

Discrimination of high and low arousal states, sensorimotor integration, and detection of physiological activation

Temporal cortex

T7, T8

Auditory emotional processing, emotional memory encoding, and interactions with amygdala regions

Parietal cortex

Pz

Attentional modulation during emotional stimuli processing and suppression of ocular artifacts

Occipital cortex

O1, O2

Visual processing of emotional stimuli and distinction of emotionally salient visual content
