Face recognition–the ability to recognize a person from their facial appearance–is essential
for normal social interaction. Face recognition deficits have been implicated in the most …

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 …

Is the human mind/brain composed of a set of highly specialized components, each carrying
out a specific aspect of human cognition, or is it more of a general-purpose device, in which …

Two identical top halves of a face are perceived as being different when their bottom halves
belong to different faces, showing that the parts of a face cannot be perceived independently …

It is widely agreed that the human face is processed differently from other objects. However
there is a lack of consensus on what is meant by a wide array of terms used to describe this …

Face recognition is thought to rely on specific mechanisms underlying a perceptual bias
toward processing faces as undecomposable wholes. This face-specific “holistic processing” …

A fundamental and largely unanswered question in neuroscience is whether extrinsic
connectivity and function are closely related at a fine spatial grain across the human brain …

Considerable research has supported the view that faces and words are subserved by
independent neural mechanisms located in the ventral visual cortex in opposite …

Recently, virtual faces are often used as stimuli to replace traditional photographs in human
face perception studies. However, despite being increasingly human-like and realistic, they …

Facial emotion processing has been extensively studied in schizophrenia patients while
general face processing has received less attention. The already published reviews do not …
