Holistic face recognition is an emergent phenomenon of spatial processing in face-selective regions

S Poltoratski, K Kay, D Finzi, K Grill-Spector - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Spatial processing by receptive fields is a core property of the visual system. However, it is
unknown how spatial processing in high-level regions contributes to recognition behavior …

Face inversion reveals holistic processing of peripheral faces

P Kovács, B Knakker, P Hermann, G Kovács… - Cortex, 2017 - Elsevier
Face perception is accomplished by face-selective neural processes, involving holistic
processing that enables highly efficient integration of facial features into a whole-face …

Dissociable cortical pathways for qualitative and quantitative mechanisms in the face inversion effect

D Matsuyoshi, T Morita, T Kochiyama… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Humans' ability to recognize objects is remarkably robust across a variety of views unless
faces are presented upside-down. Whether this face inversion effect (FIE) results from …

Orientation encoding and viewpoint invariance in face recognition: inferring neural properties from large-scale signals

FM Ramírez - The Neuroscientist, 2018 - journals.sagepub.com
Viewpoint-invariant face recognition is thought to be subserved by a distributed network of
occipitotemporal face-selective areas that, except for the human anterior temporal lobe …

Differential spatial computations in ventral and lateral face-selective regions are scaffolded by structural connections

D Finzi, J Gomez, M Nordt, AA Rezai… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Face-processing occurs across ventral and lateral visual streams, which are involved in
static and dynamic face perception, respectively. However, the nature of spatial …

The neural code for face orientation in the human fusiform face area

FM Ramírez, RM Cichy, C Allefeld… - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Humans recognize faces and objects with high speed and accuracy regardless of their
orientation. Recent studies have proposed that orientation invariance in face recognition …

Local discriminability determines the strength of holistic processing for faces in the fusiform face area

V Goffaux, C Schiltz, M Mur, R Goebel - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Recent evidence suggests that the Fusiform Face Area (FFA) is not exclusively dedicated to
the interactive processing of face features, but also contains neurons sensitive to local …

Face perception is tuned to horizontal orientation in the N170 time window

C Jacques, C Schiltz, V Goffaux - Journal of vision, 2014 - jov.arvojournals.org
The specificity of face perception is thought to reside both in its dramatic vulnerability to
picture-plane inversion and its strong reliance on horizontally oriented image content. Here …

Face‐likeness and image variability drive responses in human face‐selective ventral regions

N Davidenko, DA Remus… - Human brain …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The human ventral visual stream contains regions that respond selectively to faces over
objects. However, it is unknown whether responses in these regions correlate with how face …

Cortical correlates of face and scene inversion: a comparison

RA Epstein, JS Higgins, W Parker, GK Aguirre… - Neuropsychologia, 2006 - Elsevier
Face recognition is more strongly impaired by stimulus inversion than nonface object
recognition. This phenomenon, known as the face inversion effect (FIE), suggests that the …
