Perception of Threatening Intention Modulates Brain Processes to Body Actions: Evidence From Event-Related Potentials

Self-esteem modulates automatic attentional responses to self-relevant stimuli: evidence from event-related brain potentials

Citation: Chen J, Shui Q and Zhong Y (2015) Self-esteem modulates automatic attentional responses to self-relevant stimuli: evidence from event-related brain potentials. Front. Hum. Neurosci. 9:376. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2015.00376 Previous studies have widely shown that self-esteem modulates the attention bias towards social rejection or emotion-related information. However, little is known about...

Mechanisms of Visuospatial Attention: Evidence from Event-related Brain Potentials

A series of experiments are reviewed that studied mechanisms underlying visuospatial attention by measuring the influence of attentional selectivity on event-related brain potentials (ERPs). The results are interpreted within a theoretical frameworkdeveloped by LaBerge(1995) and LaBerge andBrown(1989). Spatial attention can have an effect on occipital P1 and N1 components in trial-by-trial cuei...

The Origin and Nature of Categorical Perception of Colour: Evidence from Event-Related Brain Potentials

Facial attractiveness modulates early and late event-related brain potentials.

Facial attractiveness is of high importance for human interaction and communication, and everyday experience suggests that the mere aspect of a face elicits spontaneous appraisal of attractiveness. However, little is known about the time course of brain responses related to this process. In the present study, event-related brain potentials were recorded during attractiveness classification of f...

Vocal perception: brain event-related potentials in a chimpanzee.

We describe the first brain event-related potential (ERP) study of cognitive processes in the chimpanzee. In an extension of our studies on the ontogeny of vocal perception, ERP measures were obtained during the presentation of simple nonsignal stimuli as well as conspecific and human vocalizations. We initially confirmed findings from humans and monkeys of the appearance of a long-latency posi...
