| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated subliminal affective priming effects (SAPEs), the phenomenon by which subliminal processing of fearful faces affects neural processing of subsequent supraliminal target faces (neutral, ambiguous and fearful), using 128-ch electroencephalography. We found gender-related emotionally incongruent effects in face-specific event-related potential (N170) amplitude. Female participants exhibited enhanced N170 amplitude for emotionally neutral faces primed by fearful faces, whereas male participants showed larger N170 amplitude for fearful target faces primed by neutral faces. Furthermore, one participant with autism spectrum disorder showed and enhanced late positive potential for all target faces. These findings suggest that gender and neuropsychiatric disorders affect the neural processing of subliminal emotional faces and these differences in neural processing induce various patterns of SAPEs.
