The goal of this study was to examine behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of
involuntary orienting toward rapidly presented angry faces in non-anxious, healthy adults …

We investigated the electrophysiological markers of attentional bias for threat in anxiety. Low-
anxiety and high-anxiety individuals performed a spatial-cueing task, in which an emotional …

This study investigated the temporal course of attentional biases for threat‐related (angry)
and positive (happy) facial expressions. Electrophysiological (event‐related potential) and …

We investigated the spatio-temporal dynamic of attentional bias towards fearful faces.
Twelve participants performed a covert spatial orienting task while recording visual event …

Multiple sources of information from the face guide attention during social interaction. The
present study modified the Posner cueing paradigm to investigate how dynamic changes in …

Behavioural studies have used spatial cueing designs extensively to investigate emotional
biases in individuals exhibiting clinical and sub-clinical anxiety. However, the neural …

Visual search paradigms have provided evidence for the enhanced capture of attention by
threatening faces. Especially in social anxiety, hypervigilance for threatening faces has been …

Stimuli of high emotional significance such as social threat cues are preferentially processed
in the human brain. However, there is an ongoing debate whether or not these stimuli …

The aim of this paper was to study whether real angry faces do capture attention to the
extent of overcoming the inhibition of return (IOR) effect and whether the anxiety level of …

There is much empirical evidence for modulation of attention by negative—particularly fear-
relevant—emotional stimuli. This modulation is often explained in terms of a fear module …
