The appearance of faces can be strongly affected by the characteristics of faces viewed
previously. These perceptual after-effects reflect processes of sensory adaptation that are …

During the recognition of faces, the incoming perceptual information is matched against
mental representations of familiar faces stored in memory. Face space models describe an …

Faces convey a wealth of information that guides our social interactions. At a glance we can
assess a person's identity, gender, ethnicity, age, attractiveness, emotional state, and focus …

To date, there is no functional account of the visual perception of gaze in humans. Previous
work has demonstrated that left gaze and right gaze are represented by separate …

Faces of one's own race and of other races are thought to be located in different regions of
face space (Valentine,). Here we investigated whether faces of different races (Caucasian …

It has been claimed that exposure to distorted faces of one sex induces perceptual
aftereffects for test faces that are of the same sex, but not for test faces of the other sex (AC …

Many studies have used visual adaptation to investigate how recent experience with faces
influences perception. While faces similar to those seen during adaptation phases are …

Perceptual adaptation not only produces striking perceptual aftereffects, but also enhances
coding efficiency and discrimination by calibrating coding mechanisms to prevailing inputs …

People with congenital prosopagnosia (CP) report difficulty recognising faces in everyday
life and perform poorly on face recognition tests. Here, we investigate whether impaired …

The ability to adapt is essential to live and survive in an ever-changing environment such as
the human ecosystem. Here we review the literature on adaptation effects of face stimuli to …
