Faces capture spatial attention only when we want them to: an inattentional blindness EEG study

This study uses EEG to show that faces capture attention only when they are consciously perceived and task-relevant, not when they are subliminal or task-irrelevant.

Decoding Neural Patterns for the Processing of Fearful Faces under Different Visual Awareness Conditions: A Multivariate Pattern Analysis

This study uses multivariate pattern analysis on EEG data to decode conscious and nonconscious processing of fearful faces under different awareness conditions, finding that spatial location decoding requires conscious awareness and task relevance, while presence can be processed subconsciously.

Attentional capture by fearful faces requires consciousness and is modulated by task-relevancy: a dot-probe EEG study

This study uses EEG and a dot-probe task to show that fearful faces capture spatial attention only when consciously perceived and task-relevant, with no evidence of nonconscious processing.

Now you see it: fixation-related electrical potentials during a free visual search task reveal the timing of visual awareness

The paper investigates the timing of visual awareness by analyzing fixation-related potentials during a free visual search task, finding that awareness emerges around 130 ms and emotion processing requires awareness.

Attention and prediction modulations in expected and unexpected visuospatial trajectories.

This study examines how prediction and attention modulate visual perception by analyzing ERP components N170 and N2pc in response to predictable and unpredictable visual trajectories.
