Automatic activation of adolescents' peer-relational schemas: evidence from priming with facial identityLauri Nummenmaa
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and University of Tampere, Finland
Child Dev 79:1659-75. 2008..It is concluded that peer-relational schemas and related affect are activated automatically upon perception of a peer...- How attentional systems process conflicting cues. The superiority of social over symbolic orienting revisitedLauri Nummenmaa
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, FIN 33014, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 35:1738-54. 2009..The processing of social and symbolic directional information can be modulated by top-down control, but the efficiency of the control depends on the visual saliency of the cues... - Is emotional contagion special? An fMRI study on neural systems for affective and cognitive empathyLauri Nummenmaa
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Neuroimage 43:571-80. 2008..Emotional empathy facilitates somatic, sensory, and motor representation of other peoples' mental states, and results in more vigorous mirroring of the observed mental and bodily states than cognitive empathy... - Emotional scene content drives the saccade generation system reflexivelyLauri Nummenmaa
Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 35:305-23. 2009..The authors conclude that early saccade target selection and execution processes are automatically influenced by emotional picture content. This reveals processing of meaningful scene content prior to overt attention to the stimulus... - Neural mechanisms of social attentionLauri Nummenmaa
Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Biokatu 6, FIN 33014 Tampere, Finland
Trends Cogn Sci 13:135-43. 2009..We also review new research indicating that the posterior superior temporal sulcus region responds to the inferred intentionality of social cues, and consider the development of the gaze perception system... 
Automatic attention orienting by social and symbolic cues activates different neural networks: an fMRI studyJari K Hietanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Neuroimage 33:406-13. 2006....- Visuospatial attention shifts by gaze and arrow cues: an ERP studyJari K Hietanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, Department of Psychology, University of Tampere, Finland
Brain Res 1215:123-36. 2008..These results provide further support for earlier behavioral and neuroimaging studies indicating that automatic orienting of attention by arrow cues and gaze cues are based on different neural mechanisms... - Eye movement assessment of selective attentional capture by emotional picturesLauri Nummenmaa
Department of Psychology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Emotion 6:257-68. 2006..Low-level visual features cannot explain the results. It is concluded that overt visual attention is captured by both unpleasant and pleasant emotional content... 
The naked truth: the face and body sensitive N170 response is enhanced for nude bodiesJari K Hietanen
Human Information Processing Laboratory, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
PLoS ONE 6:e24408. 2011..Such facilitated visual processing of other people's nude bodies is possibly beneficial in identifying potential mating partners and competitors, and for triggering sexual behavior...- Gaze distractors influence saccadic curvature: evidence for the role of the oculomotor system in gaze-cued orientingLauri Nummenmaa
Department of Psychology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Vision Res 46:3674-80. 2006..The results imply that gaze-cued shifts of visual attention involve both cortical attention orienting systems and subcortical oculomotor systems...
