Spatial scaling factors explain eccentricity effects on face ERPs.
Event-related potential (ERP) studies consistently have described a strong, face-sensitive response termed the N170. This component is maximal at the fovea and decreases strongly with eccentricity, a result that could suggest a foveal bias in the cortical generators responsible for face processing. Here we demonstrate that scaling stimulus size according to V1 cortical magnification factor can ...
متن کاملEccentricity effects on lateral interactions
We attempted to resolve an apparent conflict between the lack of psychophysical evidence of collinear facilitation at the near-periphery and physiological evidence from the monkey showing collinear effects extra-fovealy. We compared collinear and orthogonal configurations to discount facilitation due to reduced positional uncertainty. Detection thresholds were measured for Gabor targets at ecce...
متن کاملEffects of repetition learning on upright, inverted and contrast-reversed face processing using ERPs.
The effects of short-term learning on memory for inverted, contrast-reversed and upright faces were investigated using event-related potentials (ERPs) in a target/nontarget discrimination task following a learning phase of the target. Subjects were equally accurate for all three face types although responding more slowly to inverted and negative faces compared to upright faces. Face type affect...
متن کاملEmotions And Face-Selective Processing. ERPs Correlates
Introduction Face is an important social stimulus in human interactions. From face stimuli we are not only able to derive information concerning the person’s likely age, sex, and so on, but we are also able to interpret the meaning of their facial expressions. Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that the visual presentation of emotionally charged stimuli activates not only emotion-specific b...
متن کاملEffects of attentional filtering demands on preparatory ERPs elicited in a spatial cueing task.
OBJECTIVE We used ERP measures to investigate how attentional filtering requirements affect preparatory attentional control and spatially selective visual processing. METHODS In a spatial cueing experiment, attentional filtering demands were manipulated by presenting task-relevant visual stimuli either in isolation (target-only task) or together with irrelevant adjacent distractors (target-pl...
