Interference of high arousing picture processing by task demand. (A) Difference waveforms (highly arousing emotional – neutral) for low (averaged across the 0 % and 10 % conditions) and high (averaged across the 50 % and 100 % conditions) task demand for a right occipital sensor. The grey-shaded area refers to the analyzed EPN time interval from 200–300 ms. (B) Topographical difference maps for highly arousing pleasant-neutral and highly arousing unpleasant-neutral in low and high task demand conditions (back view; mean from 200–300 ms). Due to the pronounced difference of the emotional modulation for low and high task demand, different scales are used to display the effect.
