Abstract
This study evaluated the utility of steady-state visually evoked potentials (ssVEPs) to measure threat bias. ssVEPs were not significantly correlated with attentional TB scores (derived from the dot probe). Analyses using both ssVEPs and attentional TB, however, revealed that bias away from threat was associated with greater anxiety.
