The strongest connections to V1 are fed back from neighbouring area V2 and from a network
of higher cortical areas (eg V3, V5, LOC, IPS and A1), transmitting the results of cognitive …

Closing the structure-function divide is more challenging in the brain than in any other
organ. For example, in early visual cortex, feedback projections to V1 can be quantified (eg,) …

Although distinct categories are reliably decoded from fMRI brain responses, it has proved
more difficult to distinguish visually similar inputs, such as different faces. Here, we apply a …

Humans reliably categorize configurations of facial actions into specific emotion categories,
leading some to argue that this process is invariant between individuals and cultures …

Humans can readily decode emotion expressions from faces and perceive them in a
categorical manner. The model by Haxby and colleagues proposes a number of different …

It is widely assumed that the fusiform face area (FFA), a brain region specialized for face
perception, is not involved in processing emotional expressions. This assumption is based …

Computing behaviorally relevant representations of three-dimensional (3D) motion from two-
dimensional (2D) retinal signals is critical for survival. To ascertain where and how the …

Reconstructing visual experience from brain responses measured by functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) is a challenging yet important research topic in brain decoding …

An extensive body of work documents the time course of neural face processing in the
human visual cortex. However, the majority of this work has focused on specific temporal …

Faces transmit a wealth of important social signals. While previous studies have elucidated
the network of cortical regions important for perception of facial expression, and the …
