The object-based attention (OBA) effect has been consistently observed across various objects using the double-rectangle paradigm, but its relevance to faces has sparked controversy. To address this issue, we used the event-related potentials (ERP) technique to examine the temporal dynamics of object processing and its impact on the OBA effect. Behavioral data revealed the presence of the OBA effect for non-face mosaic objects but not for faces.

Attention is inherently drawn to distractors with salient physical features, yet it can also be proactively suppressed through top-down control, preventing attentional capture. However, this proactive suppression mechanism can fail under certain conditions. To explore the boundaries of proactive suppression, four experiments were conducted in the present study using the additional singleton paradigm, examining both top-down control and bottom-up factors.

Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular degradation pathway in eukaryotes. Double-membrane autophagosomes engulf damaged organelles, misfolded proteins and pathogenic microorganisms and transport them to vacuoles (in yeast and plants) or lysosomes (in animals) for degradation to maintain cellular homeostasis. As a core regulatory component of class III PI3K-I and PI3K-II complexes, ATG6 is not only involved in autophagosome formation and vesicle trafficking, but also plays an important role in plant growth, development and stress responses.

Change perception refers to the sensitivity in perceiving changes, yet its modulation by objects has been less studied. To address this question, the gap-contingent technique was employed in the double-rectangle paradigm, with two rectangles briefly inserted between the pre-changed and post-changed stimuli. The changed items could either occur in the same rectangle (within condition) or across two rectangles (between condition).

Object-based attention (OBA) is a selective attention mechanism that suggests that attention selects an object as a processing unit. This mechanism has been widely studied using the double-rectangle paradigm (Egly et al.), with shorter reaction times (RTs) in the within-object than in the between-object conditions as the OBA effect.

Numerous research studies have demonstrated that eye gaze and arrows act as cues that automatically guide spatial attention. However, it remains uncertain whether the attention shifts triggered by these two types of stimuli vary in terms of automatic processing mechanisms. In our current investigation, we employed an equal probability paradigm to explore the likenesses and distinctions in the neural mechanisms of automatic processing for eye gaze and arrows in non-attentive conditions, using visual mismatch negative (vMMN) as an indicator of automatic processing.

The mean emotion from multiple facial expressions can be extracted rapidly and precisely. However, it remains debated whether mean emotion processing is automatic which can occur under no attention. To address this question, we used a passive oddball paradigm and recorded event-related brain potentials when participants discriminated the changes in the central fixation while a set of four faces was presented in the periphery.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how visual working memory (VWM) affects attention, particularly regarding distractors that are irrelevant to a task.
  • It involved measuring reaction times and EEG activity in participants faced with different types of distractors—salient and non-salient—while performing visual search tasks.
  • Results indicated that using VWM for distractor colors actually slowed reaction times and did not enhance suppression of distractors, suggesting that our brains reactively manage irrelevant information, which may have implications for how we understand attention and cognition in the future.

Numerous studies on face processing have revealed their special ability to affect attention, but relatively little research has been done on how faces guide spatial attention allocation. To enrich this field, this study resorted to the object-based attention (OBA) effect in a modified double-rectangle paradigm where the rectangles were replaced with human faces and mosaic patterns (non-face objects). Experiment 1 replicated the typical OBA effect in the non-face objects, but this effect was absent in Asian and Caucasian faces.

Attention is the process of selecting relevant information and suppressing irrelevant information. However, it is still controversial whether attentional capture by salient but task-irrelevant stimuli operates in a bottom-up fashion (stimulus-driven theory) or a top-down fashion (goal-driven theory) or if even salient distractors can be suppressed before capturing attention (signal suppression theory). In the present study, we investigated how saliency affects attentional capture (indexed by N2-posterior-contralateral [N2pc]) and suppression (indexed by distractor positivity [P ]) of abrupt-onset and color singleton distractors in a visual search task.

There is a theoretical debate between the early and late neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs). Previous studies using neutral face stimuli supported an early NCC and suggested that visual awareness negativity (VAN) is associated with consciousness, while late positivity (LP) reflects post-perceptual activity. However, emotional faces may help to examine the relationship between LP and consciousness due to the differences in late processing between emotional and neutral faces.
