Event Abstract Back to Event Attentional modulation of face adaptation aftereffects Valentina Daelli1* and Alessandro Treves1 1 SISSA, Italy Visual perception of an ambiguous stimulus can be strongly influenced be recent experience. Research on face adaptation aftereffects has shown that recognition of facial attributes (such as race, gender, emotion) can be systematically altered by adaptation to a prototypical face. In this study we investigated how feature-based attention could modulate face aftereffects. We used facial stimuli containing joint information for gender and emotion (e.g. happy female and neutral male faces). During adaptation, subjects were involved in a task that required focusing attention to one feature (gender or emotion), and then asked to categorize ambiguous images obtained with the morphing of two faces with the opposite combination of features (e.g. neutral female and happy male). We found that focusing attention to one feature induced an aftereffect of the non-attended dimension.
