The Modulation of Exogenous Attention on Emotional Audiovisual Integration.

Although emotional audiovisual integration has been investigated previously, whether emotional audiovisual integration is affected by the spatial allocation of visual attention is currently unknown. To examine this question, a variant of the exogenous spatial cueing paradigm was adopted, in which stimuli varying by facial expressions and nonverbal affective prosody were used to express six basic emotions (happiness, anger, disgust, sadness, fear, surprise) via a visual, an auditory, or an audiovisual modality. The emotional stimuli were preceded by an unpredictive cue that was used to attract participants' visual attention.

[Karyotype Analysis of Different Populations of Tulipa edulis].

Objective: To explore the karyotype difference and to provide basis for genetic resources conservation and breeding of Tulipa edulis.

Methods: Karyological analysis on nine Tulipa edulis populations was carried out with conventional pressed slice method.

Results: Nine Tulipa edulis populations investigated were diploid.
