Key findings

  • EEG tomographic imaging is proposed as a window on decisions as they are being made
  • Gamma activity is examined as a marker of early, pre-conscious emotional responses
  • Approach-avoidance patterns are suggested as a way to understand a person's emotional triggers

An article on using EEG source imaging to study decision making, which underlies much of counselling, therapy, coaching and leadership work. The authors describe how these imaging methods can capture a person's rapid emotional reactions to thoughts, feelings and actions while they are making ordinary choices, before conscious reflection kicks in. They focus on research into gamma activity at this pre-conscious stage and its use in describing approach versus avoidance decisions.
