Organisms tend to respond similarly to stimuli that are perceptually close to an event that
predicts adversity, a phenomenon known as fear generalization. Greater dissimilarity yields …

Neuroimaging research over the past decade has revealed a detailed picture of the
functional organization of the human brain. Here we focus on two fundamental questions …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has quickly become the most prominent tool
in cognitive neuroscience. In this article, I outline some of the limits on the kinds of …

Nearly 20 years ago, Bruce and Young1 presented a model of face recognition that posited
separate functional routes for the recognition of facial identity and facial expression. This …

The fusiform face area (FFA) is involved in face perception to such an extent that some claim
it is a brain module for faces exclusively. The other possibility is that FFA is modulated by …

Humans' ability to rapidly and accurately detect, identify and classify faces under variable
conditions derives from a network of brain regions highly tuned to face information. The …

To investigate face individuation (FI), a critical brain function in the human species, an
oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) approach was recently introduced (Liu …

The dorsal, parietal visual stream is activated when seeing objects, but the exact nature of
parietal object representations is still under discussion. Here we test 2 specific hypotheses …

Damage to the right fusiform face area can disrupt the ability to recognize faces, a classic
example of how damage to a specialized brain region can disrupt a specialized brain …

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of fMRI data has become an important technique for
cognitive neuroscientists in recent years; however, the relationship between fMRI MVPA and …
