Increasingly, the neural mechanisms that support visual cognition are being conceptualized
as a distributed but integrated system, as opposed to a set of individual, specialized regions …

A longstanding controversy concerns the functional organization of high-level vision, and the
extent to which the recognition of different classes of visual stimuli engages a single system …

Prosopagnosia is a selective visual agnosia characterized by the inability to recognize the
identity of faces. There are both acquired forms secondary to brain damage and …

Objective To systematically evaluate evidence for configural and affective face processing
abnormalities as measured by the N170 and Vertex Positive Potential (VPP) event-related …

Faces play a crucial role in social interactions. Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to
the lifelong difficulty in recognizing faces despite the absence of obvious signs of brain …

Because holistic processing is a hallmark of normal face recognition, we ask whether such
processing is reduced in developmental prosopagnosia (DP), and, if so, what the sources …

Pareidolia refers to the perception of ambiguous sensory patterns as carrying a specific
meaning. In its most common form, pareidolia involves human-like facial features, where …

Congenital prosopagnosia, the innate impairment in recognizing faces, is a very
heterogeneous disorder with different phenotypical manifestations. To investigate the nature …

Accurate face processing skills are pivotal for typical social cognition, and impairments in
this ability characterise various clinical conditions (eg, prosopagnosia). No study to date has …

Face and body perception is mediated by configural mechanisms, which allow the
perception of these stimuli as a whole, rather than the sum of individual parts. Indirect …
