| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The ability to rapidly process food was detected using a visual search paradigm with the group of patients with unilateral amygdala lesion. Photographs of fast food, Japanese food, or kitchen tools were presented alongside images of non-food distractors (cars). The reaction time results did not show clear-cut differences between the stimulation of the intact hemisphere and lesioned hemisphere. This issue was further investigated using a subliminal affective priming paradigm. Photographs of food or corresponding mosaic images were presented in the peripheral visual field subliminally. Target neutral stimuli were then presented, and participants rated their preferences for the targets. Preference differences between food and mosaics were lower when the images stimulated the intact hemisphere than the lesioned hemisphere.
