A, Examples of the recombined face–scene pairs that were presented during the decision phase (20 no-conflict positive, 20 no-conflict negative, and 20 conflict mixed pairs per fMRI run). The presented examples are recombinations of the image pairs shown in Figure 1A. No-conflict pairs were comprised of images from the learning phase of the same valence, whereas high-conflict pairs consisted of images from the learning phase of opposing valences. B, Schematic representation of the decision and scrambled baseline trials during fMRI scanning. No feedback was provided during the decision phase.
