ERP waveforms time-locked to the onset of the race prime. The timing of the ERP measurement windows (N1: 100–150 ms, P2: 150–225 ms, and N2: 225–300 ms) and appearance of the race prime (0–200 ms) and object (220–420 ms) are shown on the scale. Emotion condition is distinguished by line thickness (anger = thicker, neutral = thinner); Race prime is distinguished by line shading (Black = darker, White = lighter). Faces elicited a larger N1 in the anger condition than in the neutral condition. In the neutral emotion condition only, Black faces elicited a larger P2 than White faces over anterior and anterior-central regions. In the neutral condition, White faces elicited a larger N2 than Black faces over medial and right anterior regions. Effect significance over each scalp region is indicated with a filled rectangle
