Examples of stimuli and paradigm. (A) Gender-specific bodies from the neck down (Experiment 1). (B) Gender-specific bodies with faceless heads (Experiment 2). (C) Examples of adaptation trial sequences, adjusted from Ghuman et al. (2010) for both experiments. Each trial consisted of an adapting body [male or female, upright or inverted, with (Experiment 1) or without (Experiment 2) head] for 5000 ms. This was followed by a target face (upright or inverted) for 200 ms. Subjects were asked to make a decision about the gender of the face during the presentation of the fixation cross (2000 ms). (D) Examples of adaptation trial sequences using inverted adapting body images. Some trials also included inverted faces. (E) Examples of 10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 90% male-to-female face morphs (target stimuli for both experiments).
