Funded Activity Summary

Imaging supra- versus sub-threshold perception: Towards a neural 'signature' of conscious experience. This is the first study to combine spatial and temporal brain measures to test the prediction that 'conscious' (versus 'unconscious') emotion perception is distinguished by responses in cortical brain regions, and by later peaks in integrative brain activity. Two additional innovative features include the simultaneous measurement of arousal (as an independent index of responses to emotion, regardless of conscious awareness), and the use of psychophysical methods to establish objective thresholds for 'unconscious' and 'conscious' perception. Elucidating the neural basis of conscious emotion perception is important to understanding the mechanisms of unique human experience, and disorders of stress and anxiety.
