Inactivation of face selective neurons alters eye movements when free viewing faces

This study shows that inactivating face-selective neurons in the inferior temporal cortex alters eye movement patterns during free viewing of faces.

Face neurons in human visual cortex

The paper records single-neuron activity in the human occipital face area (OFA) and finds face selectivity at short latencies, suggesting OFA is not strictly tuned to typical facial features.

The impact of stimulus size and orientation on individual face decoding in monkey face-selective cortex.

This study investigates how stimulus size and orientation affect face decoding in monkey face-selective cortex, finding that responses are more tolerant to size changes than orientation changes.

Characterizing the response to face pareidolia in human category-selective visual cortex

This study uses fMRI to show that the fusiform face area (FFA) represents illusory faces broadly, not finely tuned to visual features, revealing how category-selective regions process ambiguous visual input.
