(A) Average median reaction time in seconds across participants per presentation condition. The y-axis shows the image class (HA: happy, AN: angry, NE: neutral) of the image presented on the left of fixation, the x-axis shows the image class of the image presented on the right of fixation. (B) Average fraction of the left image being perceived first across participants per presentation condition. The y-axis shows the image class of the image presented on the left of fixation with the x-axis shows the image class of the image presented on the right of fixation. (C) Main results showing the fractions initially detected images during bCFS (y-axis) for different presentation conditions. Specifically, from left to right on the x-axis, the fraction of happy expressions being perceived first when presented together with either angry or neutral expressions, the fraction of angry expressions being perceived first when presented together with either happy or neutral expressions, and the fraction of neutral expressions being perceived first when presented together with either happy or angry expressions. Therefore, the fraction on the y-axis is the fraction that a particular image class (on the x-axis) is detected first whenever it was presented. Results show that happy faces are detected first more frequently than angry faces (asterisk indicates significance).
