Face Recognition and Perception

The paper investigates face and house discrimination at different visual field locations, finding category-specific sensitivity patterns and no hemifield biases.

The paper shows that pattern separation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus contributes to categorical face perception by analyzing a patient with DG lesions and healthy controls.

The paper compares brain responses to gaze direction during passive viewing and active eye contact, finding similar N170 and P300 effects, and shows emotional expressions influence N170 but not early posterior negativity.

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 study compares face-selective neural activity during free and cued viewing using ERPs and FRPs, finding the N170 face effect is present in both but with category-specific adaptation in free viewing.

The paper shows that combining neural responses from face- and body-selective regions in VTC better predicts categorization performance than individual regions, suggesting integration of information across domains.

The paper challenges the standard hierarchical visual processing model by showing face selectivity in early visual areas through eye tracking, fMRI, and EEG experiments.

The paper presents a neurally plausible model for efficiently inverting generative models of images, specifically testing its application in face perception.

The paper investigates whether visual categorization is graded or all-or-none in the human brain using EEG and behavioral measures, finding all-or-none responses despite graded neural amplitudes.

The paper finds that face recognition ability is negatively correlated with the thickness of deep cortical layers in the fusiform face area, while vehicle recognition is positively correlated with cortical thickness across all layers.

This study uses EEG decoding to show that face processing neural profiles emerge early in childhood and refine with age, supporting early functional maturation and ongoing specialization.

The paper investigates if CNNs match tuning properties of macaque face-processing areas, finding similarity in anterior areas but not middle areas.

The paper examines fast temporal dynamics of face processing in the human temporal cortex using intracranial recordings and identifies key sites involved in face perception.

The paper investigates how pre-saccadic preview of faces affects post-saccadic neural processing using fixation-related potentials, finding reduced N170 responses with preview.

The paper identifies a neural module in the posterior temporal cortex that flexibly links another's gaze direction to objects of interest, facilitating joint attention.

This study combines fMRI and EEG data with computational models to show how face perception evolves over time and across brain regions, finding early visual processing and later emotional expression decoding.

This study investigates whether normal observers can perceive facial emotions unconsciously, finding no evidence of blindsight-like behavior in emotion discrimination.

This study investigates whether face trustworthiness processing bypasses early visual cortex using TMS, finding that conscious perception relies on EVC while forced-choice judgments may not.

The paper investigates whether emotional expressions from faces, bodies, and voices are represented as abstract categories or sensory-specific representations in the brain using fMRI and multivariate analysis.

This study examines how schizotypy in healthy individuals relates to neurophysiological face perception by analyzing ERP components and reaction times.

The paper investigates how the brain processes face identity by comparing face similarity to an overall face average and a person average, revealing hemispheric differences in encoding face-likeness and person-likeness.

This study shows face-selective neurons can emerge spontaneously in deep neural networks without training, exhibiting viewpoint-invariant properties similar to those in primates.

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 study investigates whether facial expressions affect contrast sensitivity by testing visual contrast thresholds and effective contrast in fear versus other expressions.

The paper identifies double dissociations in prediction-error signals for face identity and head orientation violations in dorsal and ventral visual streams using MEG.

The paper uses 7T fMRI to show pulvinar input to V1 superficial layers mediates threat anticipation, not just threat perception.

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.
