In this same “masking” experiment, mri analysis showed a marked activation of the amygdala to emotional stimuli, such as angry faces that had previously been paired with a loud white noise. this activation occurred even though the subject did not recall seeing the face. what can you conclude from these results?
a) the fusiform gyrus is not involved in facial threat analysis
b) the brain uses the same neural circuits for threatening stimuli as it uses for “blindsight”
c) the brain uses multiple circuits to analyze visual stimuli
