Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …

Recognising and representing one's self as distinct from others is a fundamental component
of self-awareness. However, current theories of self-recognition are not embedded within …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

Two identical top halves of a face are perceived as being different when their bottom halves
belong to different faces, showing that the parts of a face cannot be perceived independently …

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 …

The use of non-invasive brain stimulation is widespread in studies of human cognitive
neuroscience. This has led to some genuine advances in understanding perception and …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified spatially distinct face-
selective regions in human cortex. These regions have been linked together to form the …

Face recognition is of central importance for primate social behavior. In both humans and
macaques, the visual analysis of faces is supported by a set of specialized face areas. The …

The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

Neuroimaging studies have identified multiple face-selective regions in human cortex but
the functional division of labor between these regions is not yet clear. A central hypothesis …
