Is it in the eyes? Dissociating the role of emotion and perceptual features of emotionally expressive faces in modulating orienting to eye gaze
Bayless, Sarah J.; Glover, Missy; Taylor, Margot J.; Itier, Roxane J. (Taylor & Francis, 2011-03-21)This study investigated the role of the eye region of emotional facial expressions in modulating gaze orienting effects. Eye widening is characteristic of fearful and surprised expressions and may significantly increase ... -
Is the rapid adaptation paradigm too rapid? Implications for face and object processing
Nemrodov, Dan; Itier, Roxane J. (Elsevier, 2012-03-29)Rapid adaptation is an adaptation procedure in which adaptors and test stimuli are presented in rapid succession. The current study tested the validity of this method for early ERP components by investigating the specificity ... -
Joint Modulation of Facial Expression Processing by Contextual Congruency and Task Demands
Aguado, Luis; Parkington, Karisa; Dieguez-Risco, Teresa; Hinojosa, José A.; Itier, Roxane J. (MDPI, 2019-05-17)Faces showing expressions of happiness or anger were presented together with sentences that described happiness-inducing or anger-inducing situations. Two main variables were manipulated: (i) congruency between contexts ... -
Meaningful faces: Self-relevance of semantic context in an initial social encounter improves later face recognition
McCrackin, Sarah D.; Lee, Christopher M.; Itier, Roxane J.; Fernandes, Myra A. (Springer, 2021-02)Self-relevant stimuli (i.e. meaningful/important to the observer and related to the self) are typically remembered better than other-relevant stimuli. However, whether a self-relevance memory benefit could be conferred to ... -
Neural bases of eye and gaze processing: The core of social cognition
Itier, Roxane J.; Batty, Magali (Elsevier, 2009-02-24)Eyes and gaze are very important stimuli for human social interactions. Recent studies suggest that impairments in recognizing face identity, facial emotions or in inferring attention and intentions of others could be ... -
Neural processing of fearful and happy facial expressions during emotion-relevant and emotion-irrelevant tasks: A fixation-to-feature approach
Neath-Tavares, Karly N.; Itier, Roxane J. (Elsevier, 2016-09-01)Research suggests an important role of the eyes and mouth for discriminating facial expressions of emotion. A gaze-contingent procedure was used to test the impact of fixation to facial features on the neural response to ... -
One versus two eyes makes a difference! Early face perception is modulated by featural fixation and feature context
Parkington, Karisa; Itier, Roxane J. (Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The N170 event-related potential component is an early marker of face perception that is particularly sensitive to isolated eye regions and to eye fixations within a face. Here, this eye sensitivity was tested further by ... -
Perceived Gaze Direction Differentially Affects Discrimination of Facial Emotion, Attention, and Gender – An ERP Study
McCrackin, Sarah D.; Itier, Roxane J. (Frontiers, 2019-05-24)The perception of eye-gaze is thought to be a key component of our everyday social interactions. While the neural correlates of direct and averted gaze processing have been investigated, there is little consensus about how ... -
The role of eyes in early face processing: a rapid adaptation study of the inversion effect.
Nemrodov, Dan; Itier, Roxane J. (Wiley, 2011-05-23)The current study employed a rapid adaptation procedure to test the neuronal mechanisms of the face inversion effect (FIE) on the early face-sensitive event-related potential (ERP) component N170. Five categories of ... -
Searching for a perceived gaze direction using eye tracking
Itier, Roxane J.; Palancia, Adam (Association for Research in Visison and Ophthalmology, 2011-02-01)The purpose of the current study was to use eye tracking to better understand the “stare-in-the-crowd effect”—the notion that direct gaze is more easily detected than averted gaze in a crowd of opposite-gaze distractors. ... -
Species sensitivity of early face and eye processing
Itier, Roxane J.; Van Roon, Patricia; Alain, Claude (Elsevier, 2011-02-25)Humans are better at recognizing human faces than faces of other species. However, it is unclear whether this species sensitivity can be seen at early perceptual stages of face processing and whether it involves species ... -
Spontaneous eye-movements in neutral and emotional gaze-cuing: An eye-tracking investigation
McCrackin, Sarah D; Soomal, Sarika K; Patel, Payal; Itier, Roxane J. (Elsevier, 2019-04)Our attention is spontaneously oriented in the direction where others are looking. This attention shift manifests as faster responses to peripheral targets when they are gazed at by a central face instead of gazed away ...
