Examining the role of red background in magnocellular contribution to face perception

چکیده
This study examines the role of the magnocellular system in the early stages of face perception, in particular sex categorization. Utilizing the specific property of magnocellular suppression in red light, we investigated visually guided reaching to low and high spatial frequency hybrid faces against red and grey backgrounds. The arm movement curvature measure shows that reduced response of the magnocellular pathway interferes with the low spatial frequency component of face perception. This finding provides behavioral evidence for magnocellular contribution to non-emotional aspect of face perception.

Examining the Moderating Role of Gender on the Relationship between the Benefits of Sales Promotion and Consumer Perception
Is the impact of sales promotion on consumer perception mediated by its hedonic and utilitarian benefits in the context of Indian consumers? Is gender having a moderating impact on the relationship between the benefits of sales promotion and consumer perception? Authors examined both questions using a partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings revealed that hedonic ...
متن کاملThe effect of a red background on location backward masking by structure.
It has been established that diffuse red light partially suppresses the magnocellular (M) visual pathway. Previous research reported that metacontrast masking is reduced (improved accuracy) with a red background, consistent with a reduction in M pathway response from the mask. In contrast, a recent study used location backward masking by noise and found that accuracy decreased with a red backgr...
متن کاملA magnocellular contribution to conscious perception via temporal object segmentation.
The human visual system is continuously confronted with dynamic visual input. One challenge that the visual system must solve, therefore, is recognizing when two distinct objects have appeared at a given location despite their brief presentation and rapid succession, that is, temporal object segmentation. Here we examined the role of magnocellular neurons in this process. We measured temporal o...
متن کاملConsumer Perception of Unethical Marketing Behavior and its Consequences: Identifying the Role of Idealism and Egoism
Background: The unethical behavior of companies often leads to public outrage, which in turn causes a change in consumer behavior, like a consumer boycott. The purpose of this research is to develop and test a model that focuses on consumer perception of the company's immoral behaviors and its consequences. Method: This research is an applied study and in terms of data collection, it is a descr...
متن کاملThe effect of disrupting the human magnocellular pathway on global motion perception
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of human magnocellular (M)-pathway disruption on global motion perception. Coherence thresholds for global motion direction discrimination in random dot patterns were determined at slow and moderate dot speeds: (1) after adaptation to full-field sinusoidal flicker or a steady gray field, and (2) on a red or a gray background. Adaptation to...
