In todays world of stress induced impairments regulation of the emotions is essential demand. The demands comparative to habits need selective attention, planning, response suppression and response selection for decision making. A central interest in the study of emotions is the interplay between emotional expressions, inhibitions and cognitive regulations. There is little corresponding literature on facial emotion perception so the study was planned to observe the interference and inhibition during facial (happy, sad and neutral) expressions. The results indicate that suppression of automatic action in favor of controlled less automatic facial expression required higher order visual processing system including occipito-temporal-parietal neural pathway.
