Neural substrates of emotional interference: A quantitative EEG study

Interestingly, in both the interference tasks, there was disengagement of fronto-parietal attentional networks (implicating the probable ability of emotional stimuli to disrupt cognition) and the areas associated with default mode network. Further, during baseline there was significant activity in premotor cortical areas, which may be due to active inhibition of motor movements associated with response.
