The growing amount of neurophysiological and neuroimaging research helps broaden existing knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying core burnout components. Published in Frontiers in Psychology, the present EEG study explores how burnout affects emotional information processing. The results illustrate that burnout significantly weakens response to affect-evoking stimuli. Two components of event-related potentials (ERPs) are associated with two core burnout symptoms: emotional exhaustion and depersonalization/cynicism. The authors place an emphasis on a neurophysiological manifestation of emotional blunting by identifying neurophysiological markers in an EEG. Additionally, one ERP component (LPP) that is associated with depression is not found in burnout.
