EEG data was recorded while 80 participants passively viewed 120 emotion eliciting IAPS images. We selected 20 disgust and 20 sadness eliciting images (validation experiment included) that were indistinguishable by SVM classification on their normative valence and arousal ratings (classification script included). We performed cluster based ERP analyses (script included) and single-trial SVM classification based on the whole scalp 1 second EEG patterns (script included).
