Face Recognition and Perception

The paper investigates how face memory relies on connections between visual, memory, social, and auditory networks, finding it is specific to faces and not other objects.

The paper tests predictive coding theory by showing that different visual features elicit distinct prediction errors in specific brain regions during a visual mismatch task.

This study uses EEG decoding to compare how facial expression and identity are processed under explicit and implicit task contexts, finding differences in decoding patterns and task effects.

This study investigates the time course of face perception by analyzing neural responses to faces and finds that gender and age information emerge before identity information, with familiar faces showing enhanced early processing.

The paper shows that facial features fixated longer during face recognition elicit stronger neural discrimination responses, indicating eye movements influence neural processing of face identity.

This paper demonstrates that combining humans, brain-computer interfaces, and machine-vision algorithms in cyborg groups improves face recognition accuracy in crowded environments by up to 35%.

The paper identifies a subcortical pathway from the pulvinar to the amygdala in humans that enhances fear recognition through increased fibre density and dynamic coupling.

This study uses EEG to show that face identity representations emerge gradually, becoming invariant to sex and image variations by 400ms after stimulus onset.

This study compares neural and behavioral responses to cartoon and real faces using ERP and behavioral measures, finding differences in processing intensity, speed, and attentional allocation.

The paper examines if individual differences in norepinephrine receptor function influence emotionally biased competition during sustained attention, finding no effect of the ADRA2B gene variant.

The paper examines how the brain represents social relationships using fMRI and RSA, finding that neural similarity patterns in specific brain regions correlate with the accuracy of learning face pair relationships.

The paper shows that processing ambiguous images as meaningful (e.g., faces) predicts better memory, using EEG to identify this effect.

The paper investigates how temporal expectations affect face image repetition suppression using event-related potentials, finding differing effects on early and late response components.

The paper investigates ERP effects of happy faces and monetary reward, finding distinct processing stages for each, with reward effects emerging only after learning.

This study uses image reconstruction to assess shape and surface information in face processing across behavioral, EEG, and fMRI data, finding surface information is better recovered and more cross-modal consistent.

The paper develops a framework linking signal detection theory and encoding models to quantify perceptual separability of neural representations in neuroimaging data.

The paper investigates how stimulus repetition and expectation interact in visual oddball designs, finding that immediate repetition abolishes expectation effects in EEG responses.

The paper investigates whether holistic processing is necessary for early face recognition and finds that feature-based processing, particularly of eyes, can activate perceptual memory of familiar faces.

This study investigates retinotopic bias in face identity recognition, finding that familiarity reduces spatial variability in recognition responses across visual field locations.

The paper investigates how the brain processes social and emotional relevance in visual stimuli using ERP, finding early interactions between these dimensions.

The paper investigates the role of posterior and mid-fusiform regions in facial expression processing using intracranial recordings and multivariate analysis, revealing distinct temporal dynamics in their contribution to expression perception.

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.

The paper shows that implicit reward associations enhance neural processing of neutral faces, as evidenced by ERP components and pupil dilations, with gain associations having more impact than loss.

This study investigates face processing in the human brain using fMRI, finding that the pSTS-FA is more responsive to dynamic faces and changeable aspects, while FFA and OFA show similar responses across conditions.

The paper investigates how neurons in macaque IT cortex respond to multiple objects and finds that normalization with homogeneous category selectivity explains their responses.

The paper investigates sex-related differences in amygdala responses to facial threat cues, finding sex-specific functional and structural amygdala differences in processing fear and eye gaze.

The paper introduces FPS-fMRI, a method that improves signal-to-noise ratio and test-retest reliability in brain mapping by using fast periodic stimulation and Fourier analysis.

The paper investigates how emotional processing of stimuli affects subsequent neutral social stimuli processing, finding individual differences in affective biasing and memory.

This study examines brain oscillatory responses to fearful faces with direct or averted gaze during brief and longer exposures, showing exposure duration affects threat signal processing stages.
