Tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) offers a methodologically simple and noninvasive means to provide a physiological measure of hemispheric activation, although the mechanisms by which it may be related to hemispheric activity are not completely known. Here, the authors examined TMT at baseline and after a mood-induction protocol. They replicate baseline associations between increased absolute difference between left and right TMT and increased anger, and found evidence for a link between increased TMT and increased ipsilateral hemispheric activation after mood-induction. They also found tentative evidence for the existence of right-lateralized emotional hyperthermia after mood-induction.
鼓膜温度 (TMT) 提供了一种方法简单且无创的手段，用于提供半球激活的生理测量，尽管其与半球活动相关的机制尚不完全清楚。在这里，作者检查了 TMT 在基线时和在情绪诱导方案后的情况。他们复制了左、右 TMT 之间的绝对差异增加与愤怒增加之间的基线关联，并发现了 TMT 增加与情绪诱导后同侧半球激活增加之间存在联系的证据。他们还发现了情绪诱导后右侧情感性体温过高存在的初步证据。
