EMOTIONAL VALENCE IN THE EYE REGION MODULATES THE ATTENTIONAL BLINK IN A TASK-DEPENDENT MANNER: EVIDENCE FROM EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS

Emotional Valence in the Eye Region Modulates the Attentional Blink in a Task-Dependent Manner: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials

Although emotional expressions conveyed by the eye regions are processed efficiently, little is known regarding the relationship between emotional processing of isolated eye regions and temporal attention.In this study, we conducted three rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) experiments with varying task demands (emotion discrimination, eye dete

Concentric ring optical traps for orbital rotation of particles

Optical vortices (OVs), as eigenmodes of optical orbital angular momentum, have been widely used in particle micro-manipulation.Recently, perfect optical vortices (POVs), a subclass of OVs, are gaining increasing interest and becoming UpCart an indispensable tool in optical trapping due to their unique property of topological charge-independent vor
