PERCEPTUAL LOAD MANIPULATION DOES NOT REVEAL SENSITIVITY ON THE N170 ERP COMPONENT OF MANIPULATED FACES AND BODIES
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: It has been controversial in the face recognition literaturę whether face-sensitive N170 is affected by selective attention. Attention was manipulated according to Lavie’s perceptual load theory, examining the effect of selective attention on the processing of faces and human bodies. Faces and human bodies were presented either intact or manipulated.
