abstract = {Past research has found that several brain event-related
potentials (ERPs) were sensitive to the perception of ethnic
differences displayed on human faces. This body of research
suggests that the phenomenon of "race perception" involves a
cascade of cognitive processes that includes both automatic
and overt attentional mechanisms. However, most of these
studies used stimuli depicting whole faces rather than
stimuli depicting separate facial features. Therefore, it is
still largely unknown if ERP responses to racial differences
are the result of a holistic processing of the whole face,
or whether they can be accounted for by the perception of
single facial features. To address this issue, we examined
whether a single facial feature, the eyes region, can
provide sufficient information to trigger known ERP
correlates of race perception such as the P2, the N400 and
the Late Positive Complex (LPC). Specifically, we showed
pictures depicting only the eyes region of Caucasian and
Asian faces to a sample of Asian participants. We found that
the P2 was larger for other-race (OR) compared to same-race
(SR) eyes, and that the N400 was larger for SR compared to
OR eyes. The effects on the P2 may suggest an enhanced
vigilance response to OR eyes whereas the N400 effect could
reflect a signal of familiarity triggered by SR eyes. These
results indicate that a specific facial feature, the eyes
region, can account for known effects of race perception on
early brain potentials. Our findings also indicate that
well-known early neural correlates of race perception can be
triggered in the absence of a holistic processing of the
whole face.},
