Combining speed and accuracy to control for speed-accuracy trade-offs (?)
In psychological experiments, participants are typically instructed to respond as fast as
possible without sacrificing accuracy. How they interpret this instruction and, consequently …

Neural mechanisms of face perception, their emergence over development, and their breakdown
Face perception is probably the most developed visual perceptual skill in humans, most
likely as a result of its unique evolutionary and social significance. Much recent research has …

Subcortical encoding of summary statistics in humans
Statistical encoding compresses redundant information from multiple items into a single
summary metric (eg, mean). Such statistical representation has been suggested to be …

Invisible social grou** facilitates the recognition of individual faces
Z Xu, H Chen, Y Wang - Consciousness and Cognition, 2023 - Elsevier
Emerging evidence suggests a specialized mechanism supporting perceptual grou** of
social entities. However, the stage at which social grou** is processed is unclear. Through …

A prototypical template for rapid face detection is embedded in the monkey superior colliculus
QV Le, QV Le, H Nishimaru, J Matsumoto… - Frontiers in systems …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Human babies respond preferentially to faces or face-like images. It has been proposed that

Processing of fearful faces exhibits characteristics of subcortical functions.
A subcortical pathway is thought to have evolved to facilitate fear information transmission,
but direct evidence for its existence in humans is lacking. In recent years, rapid, preattentive …
