While direct replications such as the “Many Labs” project are extremely valuable in testing reliability of published findings across laboratories, they reflect common reliance psychology on single vignettes or stimuli, which limits scope conclusions that can be reached. New experimental tools and statistical techniques make it easier to routinely sample appropriately treat them random factors. We encourage researchers get into habit including multiple versions content (e.g., stimuli...

Abstract Fearful faces convey threat cues whose meaning is contextualized by eye gaze: While averted gaze congruent with facial fear (both signal avoidance), direct (an approach signal) incongruent it. We have previously shown using fMRI that the amygdala engaged more strongly during brief exposures. However, also responds to longer Here we examined unexplored brain oscillatory responses characterize neurodynamics and connectivity (~250 ms) (~883 exposures of fearful or gaze. performed two...

Through 3 studies, we investigated whether angularity and roundness present in faces contributes to the perception of anger joyful expressions, respectively. First, Study 1 found that angry expressions naturally contain more inward-pointing lines, whereas outward-pointing lines. Then, using image-processing techniques Studies 2 3, filtered images only or lines as a way approximate roundness. We filtering be angular increased how threatening neutral face was rated, intense were enhanced...

Abstract The visual system takes advantage of redundancies in the scene by extracting summary statistics from a set items. Similarly, many social situations where scrutinizing each individual’s expression is inefficient, human observers make snap judgments crowds people reading “crowd emotion” to avoid danger (e.g., mass panic or violent mobs) seek help. However, how brain accomplishes this feat remains unaddressed. Here we report behavioral and fMRI studies which participants made avoidance...

Gaze direction and facial emotion can provide important cues about danger in the environment are processed what appears to be a functionally interactive adaptive manner. Previous work has also revealed individual differences responses compound threat cues. For instance, Individuals with high state anxiety showed increased amygdalar response clear cues, while those low were more sensitive ambiguous (Ewbank et al., 2010). The effects of aging on brain another relevant factor consider this...

Abstract Fearful faces convey threat cues whose meaning is contextualized by eye gaze: While averted gaze congruent with facial fear (both signal avoidance), direct incongruent it, as signals approach. We have previously shown using fMRI that the amygdala engaged more strongly gaze, which has been found to be processed efficiently, during brief exposures. However, also responds longer Here we examined unexplored brain oscillatory responses characterize neurodynamics and connectivity (∼250...

Social interaction is dependent upon the appropriate interpretation of others' cues. Gaze cues in particular play an essential part social learning, cooperation, assessment threat, and interpreting intentions. By manipulating masculinity femininity faces, previous research has shown that gaze-cueing effect (i.e., tendency for observers to respond more quickly targets locations cued by another's gaze compared uncued targets) enhanced facial dominance More cuing been reported macaque monkeys...

Introduction: Previous work has reported the breaking point for perceiving animacy in a doll face morphed with human is around 70% on continuum toward being more like (Looser & Wheatley 2010). Other shown that social rejection, manipulated via classic cyberball task (Hartgenrink et al., 2015) influences how we perceive faces (Berstein Herein, combined these techniques to examine whether experience of rejection/inclusion perception face. We predicted rejection would make participants...

The emotional tone of a crowd faces (e.g., whether friendly or threatening) guides our interactions with groups people. However, little is known about the behavioral and neural bases these socially important influences. Here we examined in 5 experiments how intrinsic factors, such as observers' goal (to avoid approach) anxiety level, extrinsic were male female where they presented spatially, affect emotion perception their underlying responses.

Abstract In many social situations, we make a snap judgment about crowds of people relying on their overall mood (termed “crowd emotion”). Although reading crowd emotion is critical for interpersonal dynamics, the sociocultural aspects this process have not been explored. The current study examined how culture modulates processing in Korean and American observers. participants were briefly presented with two groups faces that individually varying emotional expressions asked to choose which...

Introduction: The visual system exploits redundancies by extracting summary statistics from groups of similar items. In social situations, average emotion crowds faces helps us to avoid potential threats (e.g., mob violence or panic). We conducted fMRI, MEG, and behavioral experiments investigate contributions magnocellular (M) parvocellular (P) pathways, hemispheric lateralization in reading crowd emotion. Methods: Participants fMRI (N=32), MEG (N=38), (N=36) were presented bilaterally with...

Introduction: Relatively greater amygdalar response has been found to rapidly presented fear faces when coupled with averted gaze (offering clear signal of threat location), and sustained presentations ambiguous (direct fear; Adams et al., 2012). To help explain these results, the parvocellular (P) magnocellular (M) pathways have implicated in processing versus threat, respectively. We tested another presentation parameter relevant visual pathways, manipulating stimulus size as a natural...
