Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Most past research on emotion recognition has used photographs of posed expressions
intended to depict the apex of the emotional display. Although these studies have provided …

The RAVDESS is a validated multimodal database of emotional speech and song. The
database is gender balanced consisting of 24 professional actors, vocalizing lexically …

Artificial intelligence advances have led to robots endowed with increasingly sophisticated
social abilities. These machines speak to our innate desire to perceive social cues in the …

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is considered a hub for social perception and cognition,
including the perception of faces and human motion, as well as understanding others' …

Primates are highly attuned not just to social characteristics of individual agents, but also to
social interactions between multiple agents. Here we report a neural correlate of the …

Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …

How much of the structure of the human mind and brain is already specified at birth, and
how much arises from experience? In this article, we consider the test case of extrastriate …

Although the cognitive sciences aim to ultimately understand behavior and brain function in
the real world, for historical and practical reasons, the field has relied heavily on artificial …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …
