In the recent years, several studies have highlighted how psychological trauma can cause anatomical and functional changes in specific brain areas associated with the onset of post-traumatic symptoms. Thanks to the development of neuroimaging it has…
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is included in many international trauma treatment guidelines and is also shortlisted as an evidence-based practice for the treatment of psychological trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress…
The psychotherapy treatment named “eye movement desensitization and reprocessing” (EMDR)[1] suggests that bilateral eye movements, auditory and tapping stimuli may enhance eliciting episodic memories. In this preliminary study, wedesigneda face…
Background: All eye movements are related in one way or another to our mental processes with lateral eye movements being associated with the different hemispheres of the brain. Eye movement techniques form the basis of eye movement desensitization…
Neuroimaging represents a powerful tool to investigate the neurobiological correlates of Eye Movements Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). The impact of EMDR on cortical and sub-cortical brain regions has been proven by several investigations…
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing has been successfully used to treat various psychological disorders. Several neuroimaging investigations like single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and…
Cette étude a examiné les effets de la stimulation bilatérale pendant le rappel de souvenirs désagréables suivi d'association libre, de manière similaire à la phase 4 de la psychothérapie EMDR. Quarante-six sujets sains féminins ont été affectés de…
Dans une enquête sur le modèle de cohérence interhémisphérique (CIh) dans la désensibilisation et le retraitement par les mouvements oculaires (EMDR) et les effets des mouvements oculaires bilatéraux (MOB), 30 sujets ont été exposés à un point fixe,…
We assessed cortical activation differences in real-time upon exposure to traumatic memory between two distinct groups of psychologically traumatized clients also in comparison with healthy controls. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to compare…
Las investigaciones con neuroimagen sobre los efectos de las psicoterapias que tratan el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), incluyendo la terapia de desensibilización y reprocesamiento por movimientos oculares (EMDR), han mostrado hallazgos…
This study examined the effects of bilateral stimulation during unpleasant memory recall followed by free association, similar to Phase 4 of EMDR therapy. Forty-six female nonpatients were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: bilateral eye…
Introduction Brain connectivity changes have been recently demonstrated in victims of psychological traumas treated with the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Objectives Forty victims of psychological traumas were investigated at…
In an investigation of the interhemispheric coherence (IhC) model for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) bilateral eye movement (BEM) effects, 30 participants were exposed to a stationary dot, a blinking red/green dot, or saccadic…
Les investigations en neuroimagerie sur les effets des psychothérapies qui traitent l'état de stress post-traumatique (ESPT), dont l'EMDR (désensibilisation et retraitement par les mouvements oculaires), ont décrit des résultats cohérents avec des…
In the recent past several neuroimaging studies aimed at evaluating the neural correlates of PTSD-related psychotherapies revealing their neurobiological effects on brain function. Functional studies by single photon emission computed tomography…
Neuroimaging investigations of the effects of psychotherapies treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), have reported findings consistent with modifications in cerebral blood flow…
The use of mobile EEG brainwave monitoring and eye-tracking recorded synchronously during the training of sports skills offers significant opportunities but creates challenges. Opportunities: ¨ Measuring neurocognitive activity and visual focus in…
BackgroundEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a recognized first-line treatment for psychological trauma. However its neurobiological bases have yet to be fully disclosed. MethodsElectroencephalography (EEG) was used to fully…
AimEye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a recognized first-line treatment for psychological trauma. However its neurobiological bases have not been disclosed yet. MethodsElectroencephalography was used for the first time to fully…
Conclusions: The implemented methodology made possible for the first time to image and represent on the cortical surface the specific brain activations associated with the therapeutic actions contemplated by EMDR protocol. These findings suggest the…
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of bilateral eye movements in the processing of long-term emotional memories, especially as it pertains to the treatment method for PTSD known as EMDR. EMDR utilizes methods similar to cognitive…
Electroencephalography (EEG), due to its peculiar time and spatial resolution, was used for the first time to fully monitor neuronal activation during the whole eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) session, including the…
EMDR’s basic working theory assumes that traumatic memories remain unprocessed because the innate information processing system is stuck by the psychophysiological effects of trauma. Traumatic events are stored in their original form, and the recall…
