Timeline of VTFAC, VTFIC, and VOC in the emotion and gender tasks. In VOC, faces were presented alone. In VTFAC and VTFIC, tactile probes were delivered 105 ms after the face onset. In both tasks, on 20% of trials, participants were asked to indicate either the emotion or gender after presentation of the face stimulus.

A, Grand average difference somatosensory-evoked activity when observing fearful (red), happy (blue), and neutral (black) faces, for electrodes where differences were strongest in the visual–tactile (face and finger) condition for both emotion (top) and gender (bottom) tasks. B, Electrodes over somatosensory (red) and visual (blue) areas included in the ANOVA. C, Topographical maps showing enhanced somatosensory activity for the fearful, neutral, and happy conditions, respectively. D, Pseudo-3D representation of sLORETA statistical maps showing regions where maximal fearful versus neutral, happy versus neutral, and happy versus fearful differential activity were source localized at latencies of 40–60 and 60–80 ms (happy vs neutral, t = 0.905, p = 0.01). E, Grand average VEPs for trials at occipital electrode positions shown in B for which maximum amplitude differences at P120 and N170 time-windows were observed. *p < 0.05.
