In this review, we synthesize the existing literature investigating personally familiar face
processing and highlight the remarkable, enhanced processing efficiency resulting from real …

Recent work indicates that the specialization of face visual perception relies on the
privileged processing of horizontal angles of facial information. This suggests that stimulus …

Regions in the ventral visual pathway, such as the fusiform face area (FFA) and
parahippocampal place area (PPA) are selective for images from specific object categories …
