The N170 is the most prominent electrophysiological signature of face processing. While
facial expressions reliably modulate the N170, there is considerable variance in N170 …

Prioritized processing of fearful compared to neutral faces is reflected in increased
amplitudes of components of the event-related potential (ERP). It is unknown whether …

There is an ongoing debate on how different components of the event‐related potential
(ERP) to threat‐related facial expressions are modulated by attentional conditions and …

Humans gain knowledge about threats not only from their own experiences but also from
observing others' behavior. A neutral stimulus is associated with a threat stimulus for several …

It has repeatedly been shown that visually presented stimuli can gain additional relevance
by their association with affective stimuli. Studies have shown effects of associated affect in …

For humans, it is vitally important to rapidly detect and process threatening signals
regardless of whether stimuli occur at fixation or in the periphery. However, it is unknown …

Social and emotional cues from faces and voices are highly relevant and have been reliably
demonstrated to attract attention involuntarily. However, there are mixed findings as to which …

For humans, it is vitally important to rapidly detect potentially threatening stimuli such as
fearful faces in the periphery. Trait anxiety has been related to biased responses to …

How someone's face is perceived is not only influenced by their facial expression but also
largely by the situational context as well as by previous experiences with that person …

Ignorance can be deadly, making learning essential to survival. However, learning also
needs to be adjusted according to the prevailing uncertainty–with faster change or, in typical …
