“…The FFA, STS, IPS, and amygdala, brain regions known to be involved in gaze processing, showed substantially reduced responses when participants reported to be unaware of the stimuli, consistent with previous findings (for review, see Sterzer et al, 2014). Interestingly, greater neural responses to direct versus averted gaze were observed when participants indicated awareness of the stimuli, whereas responses to unaware direct gaze faces were smaller.…”

“…To assess the strength of the evidence for the null hypothesis, as a nonsignificant t test result cannot provide unequivocal evidence in favor of the null hypothesis, we also performed a Bayes analysis (Dienes, 2011;Sterzer et al, 2014). This gives the likelihood of the data given the null hypothesis and the likelihood of the data given the alternative hypothesis and their quotient, the Bayes factor, as an output.…”

“…In contrast, a later signal along the superior temporal sulcus was specific for fearful expressions. Further support for the notion that changeable facial features of particular social relevance might be processed without awareness along specialized neural pathways comes from a recent EEG study that found larger negative deflections at parietofrontal electrodes to suppressed faces with direct gaze compared to suppressed faces with averted gaze (Yokoyama et al, 2013). Although still exploratory, this finding is in line with behavioral evidence of unconscious processing of eye gaze under interocular suppression (Stein et al, 2011b, 2012; Xu et al, 2011; Chen and Yeh, 2012).…”

“…One visual search study reported better discrimination of direct than averted gaze looking characters situated in the visual periphery (Palanica & Itier, 2011). Other studies using change detection (e.g., Yokoyama et al, 2011) and interocular suppression (e.g., Stein et al, 2011;Yokoyama et al, 2013) also support the view of a preferential processing of direct gaze in faces presented covertly. However, these studies did not manipulate the eccentricity at which those faces were presented or the direction of the face.…”
