Using eye-tracking technology researchers have demonstrated that people with negative attentional bias typically shift their gaze (their cognitive focus or attention) to images or even words that have a negative valance.  This shift from negative to positive attentional bias, often has a spillover effect which may improve emotional well being.  These research findings led neuroscientists to develop techniques to help people reverse negative attentional bias through training.  Furthermore these eye-tracking studies also suggest that people with maladaptive attentional bias, spend much more time fixated on negatively valanced stimuli.  Research suggests, that with repetition, training focus on positively valanced stimuli may reduce a person’s attentional bias towards negativity.  They call it attentional bias and emerging research suggestions it can contribute to anxiety disorders, emotional depression and possibly even chronic pain.  This maladaptive attentional bias has a neuroanatomical basis located in a region of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex, specifically areas 32, 24, and 25.  This combination of excessive gravitation towards and impaired ability to disengage from negative stimuli has obvious ramifications for emotional quality of life and well being.  One method of ABM is to present a person with positive and negative stimuli and have them as fast as they can, pick the positive stimulus.  The Simple ABMod App presents images of 4 faces, one with a positive expression and the other 3 with negative expressions.  Know as Attentional Bias Modification or ABM.  These brain regions are reciprocally activated when a person is in a positive state of mind versus a “bad place”.  Surely you remember, at some point in your life, being admonished to “pay attention”.  Having your cognitive focus drift off-topic is an everyday occurrence.  The total time and number of correct choices are recorded.  This was interpreted to mean they had trouble disengaging from negativity.
