Abstract
The current study investigated how facial muscle movement influences the Late Positive Potential. Participants viewed images while holding a pen in their mouth to inhibit or facilitate smiling; ERPs were recorded. Our findings provide knowledge about the influence of embodiment, specifically emotion-related bodily cues, on the processing of emotional stimuli.
