Electrophysiological evidence for attentional capture by irrelevant angry facial expressions.
Attention is believed to be biased toward threatening objects or faces. Therefore, we tested whether angry face stimuli would capture attention even when they are irrelevant to the task.

On some trials, the target was shown together with an irrelevant angry or happy face and we measured the N2pc (an electrophysiological marker of attenti...

Recently, research on lateralized event related potentials (ERPs) in response to irrelevant distractors has revealed that angry but not happy schematic distractors capture spatial attention. Whether this effect occurs in the context of the natural expression of emotions is unknown. To fill this gap, observers were asked to judge the gender of a natural face surrounded by a color singleton among...

The present research examines whether this attention to faces is moderated by the valence of emotional expression. METHOD Sixteen participants with WS aged between 13 and 29 years (mean = 19 years 9...

METHODS The authors studied three patients with chronic left neglect and vi...
