The ability to recognize a face is crucial for the success of social interactions. Understanding
the visual processes underlying this ability has been the focus of a long tradition of research …

Eye movement data analyses are commonly based on the probability of occurrence of
saccades and fixations (and their characteristics) in given regions of interest (ROIs). In this …

It remains controversial whether culture modulates eye movement behavior in face
recognition. Inconsistent results have been reported regarding whether cultural differences …

Culture influences not only human high-level cognitive processes but also low-level
perceptual operations. Some perceptual operations, such as initial eye movements to faces …

Face recognition is not rooted in a universal eye movement information-gathering strategy.
Western observers favor a local facial feature sampling strategy, whereas Eastern observers …

With the outburst of the COVID‐19 pandemic, disposable surgical face‐masks (DSFMs)
have been widely adopted as a preventive measure. DSFMs hide the bottom half of the face …

Fixation patterns are thought to reflect cognitive processing and, thus, index the most
informative stimulus features for task performance. During face recognition, initial fixations to …

The human face transmits a wealth of signals that readily provide crucial information for
social interactions, such as facial identity and emotional expression. Nonetheless, a …

Recent studies have revealed significant cultural modulations on face scanning strategies,
thereby challenging the notion of universality in face perception. Current findings are based …

The main concern in face-processing research is to understand the processes underlying
the identification of faces. In the study reported here, we addressed this issue by examining …
