Table 1.

Behavioral and ERP results compared with neutral adaptor (or tone adaptor for the auditory condition)

Happy adaptor Happy + laughter adaptor Laughter adaptor Tone adaptor
Behavioral (PSE) ***, Correlated with neural attenuation of Plate response (at CPz) to happy test faces ***, N.A. **, Correlated with neural attenuation of Plate response (at CPz) to happy test faces N.S.
ERP response to happy test face Suppressed N2 (parieto-occipital), suppressed Plate (central-parietal) N.A. Suppressed Plate (central-parietal)
ERP response to sad test face Enhanced N2 (parieto-occipital), quickened Plate (central-parietal) N.A. Quickened Plate (central-parietal)

**, ***, and N.S. indicate significance levels P < 0.01, P < 0.001, and no significance, respectively.

N.A., the comparisons are not critical to the experiment.
