Facial identity matching ability varies widely, ranging from prosopagnosic individuals (who
exhibit profound impairments in face cognition/processing) to so-called super-recognizers …

Human vision in the periphery is most accurate for stimuli that point towards the fovea. This
so-called radial bias has been linked with the organization and spatial selectivity of neurons …

Humans preferentially rely on horizontal cues when recognizing face identity. The reasons
for this preference are largely elusive. Past research has proposed the existence of two main …

Natural images exhibit luminance variations aligned across a broad spectrum of spatial
frequencies (SFs). It has been proposed that, at early stages of processing, the coarse …

Contextual modulations at primary stages of visual processing depend on the strength of
local input. Contextual modulations at high-level stages of (face) processing show a similar …

Spatial context modulates perception at low-and high levels of visual processing, with a
shared dependence on the strength of the local input. In the case of human face perception …

Facial identity matching ability varies widely, ranging from severely deficient prosopagnosics
(who exhibit profound impairments in face cognition) to so-called Super-Recognizers (SRs) …

In this thesis, I address the question of where the disagreement between extended cognition
theorists and intracranialists stems from. To lay out the state of the dialectic in the debate …
