Electrophysiological recordings on the human scalp provide a wealth of information about
the temporal dynamics and nature of face perception at a global level of brain organization …

A threatening facial expression is a potent social sign of hostility or dominance. During the
past 20years, photographs of threatening faces have been increasingly included as stimuli …

Visual perception can be influenced by top-down processes related to the observer's goals
and expectations, as well as by bottom-up processes related to low-level stimulus attributes …

Faces are perhaps the most important object category in visual perception, as faces of
conspecifics frequently convey behaviourally, socially, and emotionally relevant information …

How fast are visual stimuli categorized as faces by the human brain? Because of their high
temporal resolution and the possibility to record simultaneously from the whole brain …

Magnetic‐and electric‐evoked brain responses have traditionally been analyzed by
comparing the peaks or mean amplitudes of signals from selected channels and averaged …

We designed a fast periodic visual stimulation approach to identify an objective signature of
face categorization incorporating both visual discrimination (from nonface objects) and …

Background One common criterion for classifying electrophysiological brain responses is
based on the distinction between transient (ie event-related potentials, ERPs) and steady …

Perceptual categorization occurs rapidly under natural viewing conditions. Yet, the neural
spatio-temporal dynamics of category-selective processes to single-glanced, natural (ie …

The reliability of event-related potentials (ERPs) is an important factor determining the value
of studies relating ERP components to individual differences. However, studies examining …
