Behavioral neuroscientists conduct research on various cognitive processes through the use of different [[neuroimaging]] techniques. Examples of cognitive research might involve examination of neural correlates during emotional information processing, such as one study that analyzed the relationship between subjective affect and neural reactivity during sustained processing of positive ([[savoring]]) and negative ([[Rumination (psychology)|rumination]]) emotion. The aim of the study was to analyze whether repetitive positive thinking (seen as being beneficial) and repetitive negative thinking (significantly related to worse mental health) would have similar underlying neural mechanisms. Researchers found that the individuals who had a more intense positive affect during savoring, were also the same individuals who had a more intense negative affect during rumination. [[Functional magnetic resonance imaging|fMRI]] data showed similar activations in brain regions during both rumination and savoring, suggesting shared neural mechanisms between the two types of repetitive thinking. The results of the study suggest there are similarities, both subjectively and mechanistically, with repetitive thinking about positive and negative emotions. This overall suggests shared neural mechanisms by which sustained emotional processing of both positive and negative information occurs.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Brandeis |first1=Benjamin O. |last2=Siegle |first2=Greg J. |last3=Franzen |first3=Peter |last4=Soehner |first4=Adriane |last5=Hasler |first5=Brant |last6=McMakin |first6=Dana |last7=Young |first7=Kym |last8=Buysse |first8=Daniel J. |date=2023-12-01 |title=Subjective and neural reactivity during savoring and rumination |journal=Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience |language=en |volume=23 |issue=6 |pages=1568–1580 |doi=10.3758/s13415-023-01123-2 |issn=1531-135X |pmc=10684651 |pmid=37726588}}</ref>
