Summary

The amygdala is a key region in the emotional processing. However, we know that different other stimuli activates this brain nucleus. Recently, functional magnetic resonance imagings (fMRI) results showed that the amygdala is activated for a gaze contact as compared to a gaze averted even when the primary visual cortex is missing. Based on this result, we wish to investigate the temporal processing of this activation. Because fMRI does not imply a high temporal resolution, the electroancephalography (EEG) and the magnetoencephalography(MEG) are the most accurate and complentary tools in order to investigate this question. Using new electrical and magnetical source localization techniques, the amygdala activation can be tracked at an early stage.
