Electroencephalography (EEG) imaging was used to fully monitor neuronal activation throughout EMDR sessions to observe neurobiological patterns of brain activations.

Consciousness Examined: An Introduction to the Foundations of Neurobiology for EMDR (Journal of EMDR Practice and Research)

The human mind is difficult to investigate, but the biological foundations of the mind, especially consciousness, are generally regarded as the most daunting.

Studio di valutazione dell’efficacia clinica e neurobiologica dell’EMDR in pazienti affetti da disturbo da stress post-traumatico (Rivista Di Psichiatria)

Il nostro studio suggerisce che il trattamento con EMDR è associato a un significativo miglioramento dei sintomi di PTSD e a un parallelo incremento dei volumi ippocampali.
