  Title Examining the role of red background in magnocellular contribution to face perception Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication PeerJ Abbreviated Journal PeerJ  
  Volume 4 Issue Pages e1617  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This study examines the role of the magnocellular system in the early stages of face perception, in particular sex categorization. Utilizing the specific property of magnocellular suppression in red light, we investigated visually guided reaching to low and high spatial frequency hybrid faces against red and grey backgrounds. The arm movement curvature measure shows that reduced response of the magnocellular pathway interferes with the low spatial frequency component of face perception. This finding provides behavioral evidence for magnocellular contribution to non-emotional aspect of face perception.
