Affective realism, the phenomenon whereby affect is integrated into an individual’s experience of the world, is a normal consequence of how the brain processes sensory information from the external world in the context of sensations from the body. In the present investigation, we provided compelling empirical evidence that affective realism involves changes in visual perception (i.e., affect changes how participants see neutral stimuli). In two studies, we used an interocular suppression technique, continuous flash suppression, to present affective images outside of participants’ conscious awareness. We demonstrated that seen neutral faces are perceived as more smiling when paired with unseen affectively positive stimuli. Study 2 also demonstrated that seen neutral faces are perceived as more scowling when paired with unseen affectively negative stimuli. These findings have implications for real-world situations and challenge beliefs that affect is a distinct psychological phenomenon that can be separated from cognition and perception.

AbstractThe hypothesis that the brain constitutively encodes observed manipulable objects for the actions they afford is still debated. Yet, crucial supporting evidence demonstrating that such visuo-motor embodiment occurs even without awareness has hitherto not been provided. In this fMRI study, we reliably instantiated unaware visual perception conditions by means of Continuous Flash Suppression, and found consistent activation in the target visuo-motor, action representation system, specifically for manipulable versus non-manipulable objects
