These ERPs may not be specifically sensitive to processing sexual cues, however, because the sexual stimuli included information beyond sexual cues (e.g., faces, bodies, social interaction) to a greater extent than comparison stimuli. We investigated ERPs to stimuli that focused on sexual and nonsexual body regions, in different states of readiness for activity, to elucidate neural responses involved in processing sexual cues. Forty cisgender, primarily white, undergraduate women who were attracted to men (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a018.6, <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.9) viewed images that varied by male body part (penis, arm) and activity state (rest, poised for activity). Participants viewed 40 images per category (flaccid penises, erect penises, outstretched arms, bent arms). Electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded using a 128\u2010channel net, time\u2010locked to the onset of each image. Using a whole\u2010head cluster\u2010mass approach, we found that the P3 was sensitive to sexual readiness\u2014P3 amplitudes were larger to erect than flaccid penises, but not to bent than outstretched arms. The N170 and LPP components did not show evidence of similarly specific responses to sexual readiness, revealing potential dissociation of different neural processes commonly elicited in response to more complex sexual stimuli. An additional novel finding was that an anterior N270\u2010400 was sensitive to sexual readiness. Findings clarify the brain's rapid responses to sexual stimuli, setting the stage for future research aimed at better understanding the neurocognitive processes that contribute to the coordination of sexual arousal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.14162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]],"date-time":"2022-08-11T03:46:24Z","timestamp":1660189584000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["ERP responses to sexual cues among young women attracted to men"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1086-5545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jackie S.","family":"Huberman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Dalhousie University  Halifax Nova Scotia Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0252-265X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haykaz","family":"Mangardich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of British Columbia  Vancouver British Columbia Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2938-6288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark A.","family":"Sabbagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Queen's University  Kingston Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5495-9263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meredith L.","family":"Chivers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Queen's University  Kingston Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brainres.2006.03.108"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0045522"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn.1996.8.6.551"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743\u20106109.2010.02051.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpsycho.2009.01.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brainres.2012.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508\u2010016\u20100897\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508\u2010019\u20101451\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224490902747230"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2003.10.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0140525X00058027"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19419899.2019.1610035"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508\u2010017\u20101037\u2010y"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469\u20108986.2011.01273.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1528\u20103542.6.3.517"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.1026\u201010.2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsycho.2014.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0024408"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0028566"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn.2007.19.11.1815"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhg111"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224490009552016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0048577202394162"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.12147"},{"volume-title":"Sexual behavior in the human female","year":"1953","author":"Kinsey A.
