Figure Lengend Snippet: Maps of topographical distribution of activity collapsed for all experimental conditions: self-face, close-other's face, unknown face, self-face with a surgical-like mask, close-other's face with a surgical-like mask, unknown face with a surgical-like mask (A) and butterfly plot presenting grand-average ERPs for collapsed all experimental conditions, al all 62 active electrodes (B).

Article Snippet: The EEG was continuously recorded with 62 Ag–AgCl electrically shielded electrodes mounted on an elastic cap (ActiCAP, Brain Products, Munich, Germany) and positioned according to the extended 10–20 system.

Techniques: Activity Assay

Figure Lengend Snippet: Grand average ERPs in the P100 time-window and in N170 time-window to self-face, close-other's face, unknown face with and without a surgical-like mask. Upper panel A: P100 component for pooled electrodes O2 and PO4 within the right occipital-parietal region and pooled electrodes O1 and PO3 within the left occipital-parietal region. Lower panel B: N170 component for pooled electrodes P8 and PO8 within the right parietal region. Peak amplitude of this component was analyzed in the 140–200 msec time-window.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Late ERP components P300 (Panel A) and LPP (Panel B). Left panel A: P300 component for pooled electrodes Pz, CPz, CP2, and P2 that were within the region of maximal activity in the topographical distribution of brain activity, averaged across all experimental conditions. Right panel B: LPP for pooled electrodes FCz, Fz, FC2, and C2 that were within the region of maximal activity in the topographical distribution of brain activity, averaged across all experimental conditions. The analyzed time windows are marked by light-blue rectangles.
