AB  - Social communication is fraught with ambiguity. Negotiating the social world 
      requires interpreting the affective signals we receive and often selecting 
      between channels of conflicting affective information. The affective face-word 
      Stroop (AFWS) provides an experimental paradigm which may identify 
      cognitive-affective control mechanisms underpinning essential social-affective 
      skills. Initial functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of the AFWS 
      identified right amygdala as driving this affective conflict and left rostral 
      anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) as the locus of conflict control. We employed 
      electroencephalogram (EEG) and eLORETA source localization to investigate the 
      timing, location, and sequence of control processes when responding to affective 
      conflict generated during the AFWS. However we designated affective word as the 
      response target and affective face as the distractor to maximize conflict and 
      control effects. Reaction times showed slowed responses in high vs. low control 
      conditions, corresponding to a Rabbitt type control effect rather than the 
      previously observed Grattan effect. Control related activation occurred in right 
      rACC 96-118 ms post-stimulus, corresponding to the resolution of the P1 peak in 
      the Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). Face distractors elicit right hemisphere 
      control, while word distractors elicit left hemisphere control. Low control 
      trials require rapid "booting up" control resources observable through VEPs. 
      Incongruent trial activity in right fusiform face area is suppressed 118-156 ms 
      post stimulus corresponding to onset and development of the N170 VEP component. 
      Results are consistent with a predicted sequence of rapid early amygdala 
      activation by affective conflict, then rACC inhibition of amygdala decreasing 
      facilitation of affective face processing (however, amygdala activity is not 
      observable with EEG).
