The paper investigates whether ensemble encoding of facial expressions differs between dynamic and static faces, finding that dynamic faces show reduced accuracy with larger ensembles.

The paper investigates how motion congruence and categorical similarity between central and surrounding scenes influence surround modulation in different visual areas using fMRI.

The paper analyzes how visual and conceptual factors influence the composition of typical scene drawings using a dataset of 1,192 drawings and shows both factors jointly predict object selection.

The paper identifies two distinct pathways between visual and default mode networks that support semantic and spatial cognition, showing their dissociation in functional connectivity and task responses.

The paper investigates how moving and static stimuli from different categories are processed across visual pathways using fMRI, finding differential activation patterns in specific brain regions.

This study uses fMRI to examine face-selective brain regions in a large group, finding right hemisphere dominance for several regions and no significant gender differences.

This study shows that TMS over the right PFC increases DMN activity during facial expression naming, highlighting interactions between face processing and default mode networks.

The paper compares the functional response of face-selective areas in the lateral prefrontal cortex to other face-selective areas using neuroimaging experiments.

The paper applies theta-burst TMS to the lateral occipital cortex and observes reduced BOLD responses across multiple visual category-selective regions in ventral temporal cortex, with effects not limited to scene-selective areas or specific stimulation sites.

This study uses dual-site TMS to show that disrupting both left and right posterior temporal sulci impairs facial expression recognition more than disrupting only the right sulcus.

This paper uses TBS and resting-state fMRI to show that disrupting the right posterior superior temporal sulcus reduces functional connectivity across the face-processing network, including between non-stimulated regions.
