“…In particular, frontal ERP components were more enhanced during covert than during overt shifts, suggesting that cognitive control is required to inhibit eye‐movements (Kulke et al, 2016a). Furthermore, several ERPs to emotional and non‐emotional face stimuli were amplified during overt compared to covert attention shifts (Kulke et al, 2021), including the N170 (negativity around 170 ms after stimulus onset mainly related to face processing), EPN (Early Posterior Negativity, related to processing of emotional content), and LPC (Late Positive Complex related to task difficulty, higher order processing and emotion processing) (Junghöfer et al, 2006; Rellecke et al, 2011, 2012; Schacht & Sommer, 2009; Schupp et al, 2003, 2004). Of these components, there is robust evidence for effects of emotional expressions on the EPN and LPC (Batty & Taylor, 2003; Hinojosa et al, 2010; Hinojosa et al, 2015; Rellecke et al, 2012; Schacht & Sommer, 2009), although the LPC was unaffected by emotional content in a previous overt attention shifting task (Kulke et al, 2021).…”
