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.
