From: Attention and stimulus structure interact during ensemble encoding of facial expression
Image distances between ensemble summary reconstructions and corresponding surround averages, central faces, and other face stimuli across ensemble consistency and attentional task. Summary ensemble representations, as revealed by image reconstruction, evince an interplay between consistency and attentional scope. (A) Examples of central face stimuli, matched in image quality with pixelwise surround averages, are shown along with their reconstructions for distributed attention (Experiment 2). (B) Face position (central versus surround), consistency and attention impact ensemble representations as found above. However, the reconstruction is closer to the surround average compared with center faces in all cases, except for inconsistent ensembles during focused attention. Between-experiment comparisons are shown below the left bar plot (ns: nonsignificant, *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001; Holm-corrected; error bars indicate ± SE across participants).
