Individual faces elicit distinct response patterns in human anterior temporal cortex

N Kriegeskorte, E Formisano… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
Visual face identification requires distinguishing between thousands of faces we know. This
computational feat involves a network of brain regions including the fusiform face area (FFA) …

[HTML][HTML] The discriminability of local cues determines the strength of holistic face processing

V Goffaux - Vision Research, 2012 - Elsevier
Face perception is thought to result from the dynamic interplay between holistic and featural
modes of processing. What determines the engagement of each mode is currently unknown …

High-resolution imaging reveals highly selective nonface clusters in the fusiform face area

K Grill-Spector, R Sayres, D Ress - Nature neuroscience, 2006 - nature.com
A region in ventral human cortex (fusiform face area, FFA) thought to be important for face
perception responds strongly to faces and less strongly to nonface objects. This pattern of …

Own-race and own-age biases facilitate visual awareness of faces under interocular suppression

T Stein, A End, P Sterzer - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
The detection of a face in a visual scene is the first stage in the face processing hierarchy.
Although all subsequent, more elaborate face processing depends on the initial detection of …

Perception and processing of faces in the human brain is tuned to typical feature locations

B de Haas, DS Schwarzkopf, I Alvarez… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
Faces are salient social stimuli whose features attract a stereotypical pattern of fixations. The
implications of this gaze behavior for perception and brain activity are largely unknown …

Face processing in humans is compatible with a simple shape–based model of vision

M Riesenhuber, I Jarudi, S Gilad… - Proceedings of the …, 2004 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Understanding how the human visual system recognizes objects is one of the key
challenges in neuroscience. Inspired by a large body of physiological evidence, a general …

The horizontal tuning of face perception relies on the processing of intermediate and high spatial frequencies

V Goffaux, J van Zon, C Schiltz - Journal of Vision, 2011 - jov.arvojournals.org
It was recently shown that expert face perception relies on the extraction of horizontally
oriented visual cues. Picture-plane inversion was found to eliminate horizontal, suggesting …

The effect of face inversion on activity in human neural systems for face and object perception

JV Haxby, LG Ungerleider, VP Clark, JL Schouten… - Neuron, 1999 - cell.com
The differential effect of stimulus inversion on face and object recognition suggests that
inverted faces are processed by mechanisms for the perception of other objects rather than …

White-matter connectivity between face-responsive regions in the human brain

M Gschwind, G Pourtois, S Schwartz… - Cerebral …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Face recognition is of major social importance and involves highly selective brain regions
thought to be organized in a distributed functional network. However, the exact architecture …

Convergent evolution of face spaces across human face-selective neuronal groups and deep convolutional networks

S Grossman, G Gaziv, EM Yeagle, M Harel… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
