Figure 1. A- Emotional Visual Search Task, B-Emotional Intensity Task:

Figure 1

In the Emotional Visual Search Task (A), participants saw a target emotional face on the screen (Fear, Happy, Sad or Disgust) surrounded by 5 neutral distractors. In half of the trials, stimulus presentation was synchronized with cardiac Diastolic phase and on the other half with the Systolic phase. Participants were asked to indicate the location of the target emotional face (Objective response-Visual search accuracy) and indicate which kind of emotion they saw on the screen (Subjective response-Emotion detection accuracy). In the Emotional Intensity Task, participants were presented with a single emotional face at Systole or Diastole and were asked to rate its intensity level on a visual analog scale.
