The human hippocampus supports the formation of episodic memory without confusing new
memories with old ones. To accomplish this, the brain must disambiguate memories (ie …

Historically, it was believed the perceptual mechanisms involved in individuating faces
developed only very slowly over the course of childhood, and that adult levels of expertise …

The amygdala is thought to process fear-related stimuli rapidly and nonconsciously. We
found that an individual with complete bilateral amygdala lesions, who cannot recognize …

The fusiform face area (FFA) is involved in face perception to such an extent that some claim
it is a brain module for faces exclusively. The other possibility is that FFA is modulated by …

Neuroimaging research over the past decade has revealed a detailed picture of the
functional organization of the human brain. Here we focus on two fundamental questions …

The 170-ms electrophysiological processing stage (N170 in EEG, M170 in MEG) is
considered an important computational step in face processing. Hence its neuronal sources …

One influential account asserts that the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is a domain-general
hub for semantic memory. Other evidence indicates it is part of a domain-specific social …

The uncanny valley hypothesis (Mori,) predicts differential experience of negative and
positive affect as a function of human likeness. Affective experience of humanlike robots and …

Face processing relies on a distributed, patchy network of cortical regions in the temporal
and frontal lobes that respond disproportionately to face stimuli, other cortical regions that …

The pathophysiology of hallucinations remains mysterious. This research aims to specifically
explore the interaction between hallucinations and spontaneous resting-state activity. We …
