Is human face recognition lateralized to the right hemisphere due to neural competition with left-lateralized visual word recognition? A critical review
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 …

The neural bases of spatial frequency processing during scene perception
Theories on visual perception agree that scenes are processed in terms of spatial
frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) carry coarse information whereas high spatial …

How face perception unfolds over time
Within a fraction of a second of viewing a face, we have already determined its gender, age
and identity. A full understanding of this remarkable feat will require a characterization of the …

Illusory faces are more likely to be perceived as male than female
Despite our fluency in reading human faces, sometimes we mistakenly perceive illusory
faces in objects, a phenomenon known as face pareidolia. Although illusory faces share …

Defining face perception areas in the human brain: a large-scale factorial fMRI face localizer analysis
A number of human brain areas showing a larger response to faces than to objects from
different categories, or to scrambled faces, have been identified in neuroimaging studies …

Quantifying interindividual variability and asymmetry of face-selective regions: a probabilistic functional atlas
Face-selective regions (FSRs) are among the most widely studied functional regions in the
human brain. However, individual variability of the FSRs has not been well quantified. Here …
