Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

The concept of holistic processing is a cornerstone of face recognition research, yet central
questions related to holistic processing remain unanswered, and debates have thus far …

Researchers have designed training methods that can be used to improve mental health
and to test the efficacy of education programs. However, few studies have demonstrated …

Within a fraction of a second of viewing a face, we have already determined its gender, age
and identity. A full understanding of this remarkable feat will require a characterization of the …
