Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Fernandez-Cahill"
- Maria Fernandez-Cahill's research primarily focuses on face perception and the cognitive processes involved in the evaluation of facial expressions and trustworthiness, utilizing techniques such as event-related potentials (ERPs) and facial electromyography (EMG).
- One significant finding is that task demands and the emotional context of faces can influence how individuals process gender and expressions, as shown through variations in ERP signals during specific categorization tasks.
- Additionally, her work suggests that associative learning plays a critical role in how emotional expressions impact the evaluation of faces, particularly in terms of trustworthiness and affective responses measured through EMG activity.
