Few findings in cognitive science have proved as influential as the composite face effect.
When the top half of one face is aligned with the bottom half of another, and presented …

The human visual system is extremely sensitive to the presence of bilateral (mirror)
symmetry. In this review, I summarise the results of recent work investigating the neural …

Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is now a widely used method for modulating
the human brain, but the resulting physiological effects are not understood. Recent studies …

Symmetry is an important cue in face and object perception. Here we used fMRI-guided
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to shed light on the role of the occipital face area …

Previous neuroimaging evidence highlights the translational implications of targeting the
dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), ie a key node of the networks underlying conflict …

Individuals with developmental prosopagnosia (DP) exhibit severe difficulties in recognizing
faces and to a lesser extent, also exhibit difficulties in recognizing non-face objects. We used …

The human extrastriate cortex contains a region critically involved in face detection and
memory, the right fusiform gyrus. The present study evaluated whether transcranial direct …

Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulatory method that
involves delivering low amplitude, direct current to specific regions of the brain. While a …

In the 3 experiments reported here we show that a specific neurostimulation method, whose
influence can be understood in terms of a well-known theory of stimulus representation, is …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel, non-invasive method of modulating
brain activity by applying electrical current directly to the scalp. While the effects of tDCS are …
