Research from our lab

At our lab in Maribor, the first research trying to relate performance on the MSCEIT (at that time still an experimental version) with brain activity determined with the electroencephalogram (EEG) was conducted (Jaušovec et al., 2001). The results showed that high emotional intelligent individuals displayed less desynchronization in the upper alpha band, as well as more left hemispheric theta desynchronization. A finding that is similar to the one observed for the verbal and performance components of general intelligence supporting the neural efficiency hypothesis.
