Brain imaging studies in humans have shown that face processing in several areas is
modulated by the affective significance of faces, particularly with fearful expressions, but …

Human faces may signal relevant information and are therefore analysed rapidly and
effectively by the brain. However, the precise mechanisms and pathways involved in rapid …

Recognition and processing of emotional facial expression are crucial for social behavior
and employ higher-order cognitive and visual working processes. In neuropsychiatric …

It is widely assumed that the fusiform face area (FFA), a brain region specialized for face
perception, is not involved in processing emotional expressions. This assumption is based …

Human adaptive behaviour to potential threats involves specialized brain responses
allowing rapid and reflexive processing of the sensory input and a more directed processing …

The neural system associated with face perception in the human brain was investigated
using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In contrast to many studies that …

We tested the proposal that signals of potential threat are given precedence over positive
and neutral signals, reflected in earlier and more pronounced changes in neural activity. The …

Functional neuroimaging studies have implicated the fusiform gyri (FG) in structural
encoding of faces, while event-related potential (ERP) and magnetoencephalography …

We used event-related fMRI to assess whether brain responses to fearful versus neutral
faces are modulated by spatial attention. Subjects performed a demanding matching task for …

Functional imaging studies of emotional processing typically contain neutral control
conditions that serve to remove simple effects of visual perception, thus revealing the …
