Figure 3.
Amygdala regions showing a significant interaction of emotional expression (fearful, happy) and initial fixation (eyes, mouth). The left panel shows the statistical map (coronal plane) of the interaction effect revealing a small cluster in the right amygdala (x = 26, y = −2, z = −28 mm, t(147) = 2.76, p < 0.005, uncorrected). The contrast estimates of this cluster are displayed on the right side. A direct comparison of both initial fixation positions within each emotion revealed only a significant difference for fearful faces (t(21) = 2.58, *p < 0.05). Error bars represent SEM. L, Left; R, right.
