Abstract:
Abstract: Following our previous results of affective
blindsight for facial expressions obtained with direct guessing
methods (de Gelder et al., 1999) we again tested GY this time using
indirect behavioral methods requiring only a response to conscious
stimulation in the good field. Experiment 1 used chimeric faces and
showed an incongruency effect on naming latencies for the
expression in the good visual field. Experiment 2 required a
judgement of the emotional expression of a sentence fragment and
provided evidence for covert recognition of facial expressions
shown in the blind field on naming latencies for the emotion in the
voice. Experiment 3 further investigated the crossmodal bias of an
unseen face on the voice and provided evidence for image processing
in extrastriate areas and for the time course of audio-visual
integration.
