Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified spatially distinct face-
selective regions in human cortex. These regions have been linked together to form the …

Reflecting recent changes in the way cognition and the brain are studied, this thoroughly
updated fourth edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive and student …

Face recognition is of central importance for primate social behavior. In both humans and
macaques, the visual analysis of faces is supported by a set of specialized face areas. The …

Neuroimaging studies have identified multiple face-selective regions in human cortex but
the functional division of labor between these regions is not yet clear. A central hypothesis …

Autistics often exhibit enhanced perceptual abilities when engaged in visual search, visual
discrimination, and embedded figure detection. In similar fashion, while performing a range …

The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …

The appearance of faces can be strongly affected by the characteristics of faces viewed
previously. These perceptual after-effects reflect processes of sensory adaptation that are …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

The human brain protects the processing of task-relevant stimuli from interference (“conflict”)
by task-irrelevant stimuli via attentional biasing mechanisms. The lateral prefrontal cortex …

Visual face identification requires distinguishing between thousands of faces we know. This
computational feat involves a network of brain regions including the fusiform face area (FFA) …
