▶ Sustained electrocortical oscillations in visual cortex are amplified when viewing visual threat stimuli. ▶ Electrocortical facilitation is enhanced during acute defense, elicited by an unexpected highly disruptive auditory stimulus. ▶ This sensory amplification affects all stimuli equally, preserving accurate discrimination between threatening and safe cues.
