Faces are among the most important visual stimuli we perceive, informing us not only about
a person's identity, but also about their mood, sex, age and direction of gaze. The ability to …

Does face recognition involve face-specific cognitive and neural processes ('domain
specificity') or do faces only seem special because people have had more experience of …

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 …

A key goal of computer vision researchers is to create automated face recognition systems
that can equal, and eventually surpass, human performance. To this end, it is imperative that …

We frequently encounter groups of similar objects in our visual environment: a bed of
flowers, a basket of oranges, a crowd of people. How does the visual system process such …

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 …

Classically, it has been presumed that picture-plane inversion primarily reduces sensitivity to
spacing/configural information in faces (distance between location of the major features) and …

Historically, it has been argued that face individuation develops very slowly, not reaching
adult levels until adolescence, with experience being the driving force behind this protracted …

In the debate between expertise and domain-specific explanations of “special” processing
for faces, a common belief is that behavioural studies support the expertise hypothesis. The …

The effects of short-term learning on memory for inverted, contrast-reversed and upright
faces were investigated using event-related potentials (ERPs) in a target/nontarget …
