Face Recognition and Perception

The paper shows that human visual cortex encodes spatial relations between bodies, with specific sensitivity to facing vs. non-facing configurations, affecting body perception and representation.

The paper shows that delayed suppression in primate face patches enhances sensitivity to facial identity features through predictive normalization.

This paper presents a pilot fMRI study in children and adults to develop a paradigm for assessing face processing lateralization and estimate sample sizes for future studies.

The paper finds a positive correlation between late ERP amplitude for self-face perception and heartbeat perception accuracy in specific brain regions.

The paper investigates neural coding for eye-gaze and valence in monkeys, finding shared circuits and coding mechanisms between gaze and reward/punishment signals.

The paper investigates how social cues influence perceptual decisions and confidence, finding that neural activity in the frontal cortex mediates this effect, particularly in response to conflicting cues.

This study uses reverse correlation to examine how brain activity in experts and novices correlates with visual features in CCTV footage of prosocial and antisocial interactions.

This study examines how gender differences affect brain responsivity to emotional faces in alcoholic and nonalcoholic individuals, finding distinct neural activation patterns between genders and alcoholism status.

This study investigates rapid face processing by manipulating presentation duration and using MEG to show two stages of face perception linked to behavior.

The paper investigates how emotion and expectation interact in conscious perception by examining responses to neutral and fearful faces under different probability conditions using bCFS.

The paper investigates how ageing delays neural processing of face features, showing a 40 ms delay in occipital-temporal pathway activity that correlates with slower behavioural responses.

The paper defines 19 FOC features using analytical geometry and evaluates their contribution to perceived faceness in abstract stimuli through psychophysical experiments.

The paper investigates fear generalization by analyzing fixation patterns on faces, finding that threat prediction drives adaptive changes in visual exploration strategies.

The paper uses EEG and eye-tracking to show that visual stability during saccades involves two stages: pre-saccadic prediction and early post-saccadic change detection, as evidenced by the fN170 response.

The paper shows that face-selective brain columns match deep convolutional networks in intermediate layers, suggesting a role in pictorial face representation rather than person identification.

The paper shows that newborns have a cortical network for face processing that is active at birth, overlapping with the adult face-processing circuit.

This study investigates the neural mechanisms of facial emotion perception near the threshold using magnetoencephalography, finding distinct fronto-parietal network activity patterns for correct and incorrect recognition.

This study investigates how face typicality and affect (valence and arousal) influence emotional face processing using ERP and self-reported ratings in healthy adults.

The paper evaluates the validity of the PI20 questionnaire by comparing it to an existing questionnaire and finds strong equivalence and unidimensionality.

This study uses fMRI repetition suppression to test if face perception and theory-of-mind networks show sensitivity to trait judgments from faces, but finds no evidence of such sensitivity.

The paper examines how subliminal priming images' emotional valence and visual features affect conscious perception of facial expressions, finding that face-containing primes and egocentric vantage points influence recognition accuracy.

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.

The paper investigates whether configural face processing involves interactions between ventral and dorsal visual streams using TBS and fMRI, finding reduced ventral activity and connectivity during configural processing when dorsal regions are stimulated.

The paper investigates interhemispheric coordination in face processing using fMRI decoding and time-resolved psychophysics, finding phase differences in oscillatory patterns depending on the initiating hemisphere.

The paper identifies rapid, emotion-selective responses in monkey amygdala neurons to facial expressions within 50 ms, suggesting a subcortical pathway's role in threat detection.

The paper identifies the content of predictions from memory that aid in face recognition by analyzing 3D facial features and their efficiency in distinguishing identities.
