  abstract  = {Dense sensor event-related brain potentials were measured in participants with spider phobia, high anxiety sensitive individuals and non-fearful controls during viewing of medical emergency, spider and standard emotional (pleasant, unpleasant, neutral) pictures. Compared to non-fearful controls spider phobia participants showed a significantly enlarged late positive potential (LPP) during the encoding of phobia-relevant pictures whereas high anxiety sensitive individuals showed a significantly greater Early Posterior Negativity (EPN) during the encoding of medical emergency pictures and a significantly greater Late Positive Potential (LPP) during the encoding of highly arousing unpleasant visual material. Moreover, within group comparisons of the spider phobia group revealed comparable LPP evoked by spider pictures and emotional (unpleasant and pleasant) picture contents indicating that at the level of early stimulus evaluation, the effects of selective attention seem to be related to emotional relevance of the stimulus rather than reflecting a fear-specific response.},
