The emotional dynamic faces task. Graphic representation of an emotional face (angry condition) and a shape (control condition) trials of the emotional dynamic faces task. During this task, participants viewed a face changing from a neutral to a happy, sad, angry (depicted here), or fearful emotional expression during a 1000-ms trial. In a control condition, participants viewed a dark grey oval increasing in size over the same period of time. Participants had to identify the colour of an oval superimposed over the face/shape and presented between 200 and 650 ms of a trial.
