The present study analyses the modulatory effects of affective pictures in the early posterior
negativity (EPN), the late positive potential (LPP) and the human startle response on both
the peripheral (eye blink EMG) and central neurophysiological levels (Probe P3), during
passive affective pictures viewing. The affective pictures categories were balanced in terms
of valence (pleasant; unpleasant) and arousal (high; low). The data shows that EPN may be
sensitive to specific stimulus characteristics (affective relevant pictures versus neutral …
