The traditional belief is that the event-related alpha response can solely be described in
terms of suppression or event-related desynchronization (ERD). Recent research, however …

This article reviews behavioral and electrophysiological studies of face processing and
discusses hypotheses for understanding the nature of face processing impairments in …

Facial emotions represent an important part of non-verbal communication used in everyday
life. Recent studies on emotional processing have implicated differing brain regions for …

Eyes and gaze are very important stimuli for human social interactions. Recent studies
suggest that impairments in recognizing face identity, facial emotions or in inferring attention …

Event-related potential (ERP) studies of the human brain have shown that object categories
can be reliably distinguished as early as 130–170 ms on the surface of occipito-temporal …

The ERP component N170 is face-sensitive, yet its specificity for faces is controversial. We
recorded ERPs while subjects viewed upright and inverted faces and seven object …

The movements of the faces and bodies of other conspecifics provide stimuli of considerable
interest to the social primate. Studies of single cells, field potential recordings and functional …

Infancy is a time of rapid growth, when brain plasticity is at a maximum. Event-related
potentials (ERPs) are one of the few methods that can easily and safely be used to study this …

Background According to the traditional two-stage model of face processing, the face-
specific N170 event-related potential (ERP) is linked to structural encoding of face stimuli …

Newborn infants respond preferentially to simple face-like patterns, raising the possibility
that the face-specific regions identified in the adult cortex are functioning from birth. We …
