Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact. (2007, background): “However, automatic processing and/or attentional biases seem most likely for facial expressions displaying threat or danger, which if rapidly detected may confer a crucial survival advantage (e.g., Öhman, 2002; Vuilleumier, 2002).”
The involvement of distinct visual channels in rapid attention towards fearful facial expressions (2005, background): “This would in turn be consistent with the idea that a plausible substrate for these effects might involve rapid but coarse processing of fear-related cues in the amygdala, with the latter then exerting a feedback modulation on visual cortices to enhance stimulus processing (Morris et al., 1998; Vuil”
Developmental deficits in social perception in autism: the role of the amygdala and fusiform face area (2005, background): “more strongly activated by facial expressions than by neutral faces (e.g., Pessoa et al., 2002a; Vuilleumier, 2002).”
The Theory Behind the Age-Related Positivity Effect (2012, background): “Vuilleumier, P. (2002). Facial expression and selective attention.”
The effects of emotion on attention: A review of attentional processing of emotional information (2010, background): “notable neuroscientific approaches yielding interesting data on emotion and attention include psychophysiological and ERP studies (Eimer & Holmes, 2007; Palermo & Rhodes, 2007; Vuilleumier, 2002).”
What Are Emotion Expressions For? (2011, background): “For example, research has shown that individuals rapidly react to threat messages sent by expressions of fear and anger; these expressions recruit subcortical neural processing to capture attention and stimulate detailed perceptual processing (Vuilleumier, 2002).”
Emotion and attention interactions in social cognition: Brain regions involved in processing anger prosody (2005, unknown): “In the visual domain (e.g., for faces), it has been suggested that such emotional modulation of perceptual processing might operate through mechanisms partly independent of fronto-parietal networks mediating voluntary spatial attention (Vuilleumier, 2002; Vuilleumier et al., 2002).”
A systems approach to appraisal mechanisms in emotion (2005, unknown): “…in the evaluation of non-consciously perceived emotional stimuli is also suggested by the study of blindsight patients (e.g. de Gelder, Vroomen, Pourtois, & Weiskrantz, 1999; Pegna, Khateb, Lazeyras, & Seghier, 2004) and neglect patients (Vuilleumier et al., 2002; Vuilleumier & Schwartz, 2001b).”
Faces capture attention: Evidence from inhibition of return (2006, background): “Even though some (e.g., Mathews et al., 1997; Vuilleumier, 2002; Yiend & Mathews, 2001) have suggested that this paradigm reveals true attentional capture, it should be realized that the cueing effect observed in these studies may be the result of the inability to disengage attention from faces once”
Electrophysiological correlates of rapid spatial orienting towards fearful faces. (2004, unknown): “…of evidence suggest that threat-related signals are rapidly and efficiently processed by specialized emotion mechanisms (LeDoux, 1996; Öhman and Mineka, 2001; Adolphs, 2003) and that our attention tends to be prioritized towards threat rather than neutral stimuli (Fox, 2002; Vuilleumier, 2002).”
