Faces under continuous flash suppression capture attention faster than objects, but without a face evoked steady-state visual potential: Is curvilinearity responsible for the behavioral effect?

The paper investigates nonconscious face perception by comparing face and object breakthrough times under suppression and finds curvilinearity, not category, drives the behavioral advantage.
