Facilitating access to emotions: Neural signature of EMDR stimulation (PLoS ONE)

This study examined whether there is increased activation of the amygdala during bilateral stimulation (BLS) in EMDR therapy.

A meta-analysis of the contribution of eye movements in processing emotional memories (Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine current published studies to test whether eye movements affect the processing of distressing memories.

Bilateral saccadic eye movements and tactile stimulation, but not auditory stimulation, enhance memory retrieval (Brain and Cognition)

Discussion of alternating bilateral activation of the left & right hemispheres and its effects on memory connectivity between the hemispheres.

Response to Leeds & Korn, arguing study results are in line with mounting evidence supporting a working memory account for eye movements.

What is the role of eye movements in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? A review (Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy)

Evidence was found suggesting bilateral stimulation increases access to episodic memories and that it could act on working memory.

Tones inferior to eye movements in the EMDR treatment of PTSD (Behaviour Research and Therapy)

Study suggests that eye movements outperformed tones while it remained unclear if tones add to recall only.

Pretreatment, Intratreatment, and Posttreatment EEG Imaging of EMDR: Methodology and Preliminary Results From a Single Case (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)
