Negative mental imagery in public speaking anxiety: Forming cognitive resistance by taxing visuospatial working memory (Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry)

This study tested eye movement techniques in relation to negative imagery in social anxiety, and found reduced image vividness was associated with reduced anxiety in response to an imagined, novel public speaking scenario.

Neural processing of emotions in traumatized children treated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy: A hdEEG study (Frontiers in Psychology)

High density electroencephalography (hdEEG) was used to investigate the effects of EMDR on brain responses to adults’ emotions on children with histories of early maltreatment.

Neurobiological response to EMDR therapy in clients with different psychological traumas (Frontiers in Psychology)

This study used electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring to view neurobiological differences between groups of clients with different trauma histories during the reliving of the traumatic event.
