| Research Abstract |
Recently, remarkable developments in information technology such as internet enable us to have a knowledge about the upcoming event and predict what kind of feeling we will experience before we experience the event itself. However, it is not clear how such prediction modulates our feelings and processing of the event. Present study focusing on emotion investigated how the prediction or knowledge about to what degree we would experience unpleasant feeling modulated our emotional experience and processing of emotional stimuli using Electroencephalogram(EEG). Results from two experiments suggest that prediction about upcoming emotional event modulates emotional experience and attention to the event in the direction of the prediction.
