The paper assesses eye preference in infants and finds it is heritable and predicts later verbal competence.

The paper investigates whether fixation-related potentials (FRPs) and microsaccade inhibition (OMI) in free viewing are sensitive to face familiarity, finding that familiar faces elicit smaller N1 and shorter OMI compared to unfamiliar faces.

The paper identifies two functionally and structurally distinct fusiform face-selective regions in the human brain using data from over 1000 participants.

The paper examines attentional bias towards social interactions in naturalistic scenes, finding that social elements attract more attention in interactive scenes than non-interactive ones.

The paper investigates the timing of visual awareness by analyzing fixation-related potentials during a free visual search task, finding that awareness emerges around 130 ms and emotion processing requires awareness.

This study investigates how familiarity affects neural coding of face sex, finding categorical encoding in frontal regions for familiar faces and physical encoding in occipital regions regardless of familiarity.

This study uses dynamic causal modelling of fMRI data to investigate how face repetition affects connectivity in the ventral visual stream, finding that repetition effects are best explained by changes in between-region connections rather than local activity.

This study shows that combining visual and semantic information improves predictions of human face recognition in memory, suggesting a new visual-semantic representation in human perception.

The paper shows that neural patterns of face familiarity can be decoded without semantic or affective information, using EEG data from two different tasks.
