A novel signature of visual awareness independent of post-perceptual processing

The paper identifies an electrophysiological signature of perceptual awareness using EEG and a no-report paradigm, distinguishing it from task-related processes.

Cortical Face-Selective Responses Emerge Early in Human Infancy

The paper investigates when face-selective cortical responses emerge in infants, finding early selectivity in FFA, STS, and MPFC but not OFA in young infants.

Topographic deep artificial neural networks reproduce the hallmarks of the primate inferior temporal cortex face processing network

Adding a wiring-length penalty to object-recognition training makes model inferior-temporal layers grow face-selective units, face patches, inter-patch connectivity and viewpoint invariance, but only under naturalistic training input.

Distinguishing the neural correlates of perceptual awareness and post-perceptual processing

The paper investigates whether the P3b ERP is a neural signature of conscious perception by comparing conditions with and without observer reports.
