Abstract The processing of fear and sadness have different neural bases. The purpose of this study is to explore the electrophysiological mechanism by analyzing the features of event-related potentials in the process of emotion regulation for fearful and sad stimuli. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded in 21 healthy subjects during the watch and cognitive reappraisal tasks for fear and sadness stimuli. Late positive potential (LPP) of four brain regions (left fronto-central, right fronto-central, left centro-parietal, right centro-parietal) within the time range of 500~5 000 ms (9 windowsof 500 ms in length) after stimulation were selected to analyze the difference of fear and sadness emotion regulation. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. The within-group factors were time (9 levels), area (4 levels), task condition (2 levels, watch and regulate) and emotion (2 levels, fear and sadness). The experimental results showed that fearful stimuli evoked significantly larger LPP in right centro-parietal region than sad stimuli in the window 500~1 000 ms (P<0.05, (8.815±1.153) μV vs (5.834±1.317) μV for watch, (7.094±1.036) μV vs (6.643±1.158) μV for regulate. And the regulation of sadness significantly increased the LPP in left and right frontal-central regions in 1 500~2 500 ms after the stimulation (P<0.05, among them (10.100±2.205) μV vs (2.515±1.676) μV in the window1 500~2 000 ms). In 2 500~4 000 ms, the regulation of sadness and fear both significantly enhanced the LPP in left frontal-central (P<0.05, among them in the window 2 500~3 000 ms, (2.957±1.767) μV vs (1.899±2.969) μV for fear, (7.957±2.305) μV vs (-0.051±2.018)μV for sadness). These findings pointed out the different time course of fear and sadness emotion regulation and an important role of the left fronto-central region in down-regulation of negative emotion.
