Behavioral results showed that positive Received in revised form 12 July 2011 and negative prime faces led to valance-consistent biases in affective judgments of ambiguous neutral Accepted 25 July 2011 faces. ERP data showed that subliminal primes differentially influenced N100, N300 and vertex positive potential (VPP), with larger amplitudes in negative priming trials. These results support the conclusion Keywords: that the early perceptual analysis of targets, as well as evaluation and selection of targets, is affected by Subliminal per
