- Hi all, if you don’t remember me, my name is Ava and I am a UCL PhD student in neuroscience (and assistant psychologist). This research-based video describes the potential mechanisms behind EMDR, hope some of you find it interesting :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQHZw4zjYss 9 comments cogsci
- Eye movements take edge off traumatic memories. Investigating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying EMDR in healthy men and women, scientists found that both side-to-side eye movement and a working memory task independently deactivated the amygdala -- a brain region critical for fear learning. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-09/sfn-emt082818.php 8 comments science
