According to a widely used theoretical perspective, our everyday experiences lead us to
become natural experts at perceiving and recognising human faces. However, there has …

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

Within a fraction of a second of viewing a face, we have already determined its gender, age
and identity. A full understanding of this remarkable feat will require a characterization of the …

Face recognition is a computationally challenging task that humans perform effortlessly.
Nonetheless, this remarkable ability is better for familiar faces than unfamiliar faces. To …

Familiarity alters face recognition: Familiar faces are recognized more accurately than
unfamiliar ones and under difficult viewing conditions when unfamiliar face recognition fails …

To investigate face individuation (FI), a critical brain function in the human species, an
oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) approach was recently introduced (Liu …

In our everyday life, we continuously get to know people, dominantly through their faces.
Several neuroscientific experiments showed that familiarization changes the behavioral …

While most theories of consciousness posit some kind of dependence on global network
activities, I consider here an alternative, localist perspective—in which localized cortical …

Human adults associate different views of an identity much better for familiar than for
unfamiliar faces. However, a robust and consistent neural index of this behavioral face …

Recognizing familiar faces and learning new faces play an important role in social cognition.
However, the underlying neural computational mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we …
