We are constantly exposed to multiple visual scenes, and while freely viewing them without
an intentional effort to memorize or encode them, only some are remembered. It has been …

In visual crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers.
Traditionally, target-flanker interactions have been considered as local, mostly deleterious …

Visual abilities tend to vary predictably across the visual field–for simple low-level stimuli,
visibility is better along the horizontal vs. vertical meridian and in the lower vs. upper visual …

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 …

Since perceptual and neural face sensitivity is associated with a foveal bias, and neural
place sensitivity is associated with a peripheral bias (integration over space), we …

The tendency to perceive the identity of the left half of a centrally viewed face more strongly
than that of the right half is associated with visual processing of faces in the right hemisphere …

Introduction The right fusiform face area (FFA) is important for face recognition, whereas the
left visual word fusiform area (VWFA) is critical for word processing. Nevertheless, the early …

The N170 ERP peak has been found to be consistently larger in response to the
presentation of faces than to other objects, yet it is not clear whether this face-sensitive N170 …

Given the crucial role of face recognition in social life, it is hardly surprising that cognitive
processes specific for faces have been identified. In previous individual differences studies …

Understanding whether people around us are in a good, bad or neutral mood can be critical
to our behavior, both when looking directly at them or when they are in our peripheral visual …
