As one of the most successful applications of image analysis and understanding, face
recognition has recently received significant attention, especially during the past several …

People are excellent at identifying faces familiar to them, even from very low quality images,
but are bad at recognizing, or even matching, unfamiliar faces. In this review we shall …

Face masks present a new challenge to face identification (here matching) and emotion
recognition in Western cultures. Here, we present the results of three experiments that test …

High and low spatial frequency information in visual images is processed by distinct neural
channels. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans, we …

Four experiments investigated matching of unfamiliar target faces taken from high-quality
video against arrays of photographs. In Experiment 1, targets were present in 50% of arrays …

Since the 1970s there has been a continuing interest in how people recognise familiar faces
(Bruce,; Ellis,). This work has complemented investigations of how unfamiliar faces are …

We propose an approach that allows a rigorous understanding of the visual categorization
and recognition process without asking direct questions about unobservable memory …

As a highly social species, humans are equipped with a powerful tool for social
communication—the face. Although seemingly simple, the human face can elicit multiple …

First impressions made to photographs of faces can depend as much on momentary
characteristics of the photographed image (within‐person variability) as on consistent …

We report evidence from visual search that people can develop robust representations for
highly overlearned faces. When observers searched for their own face versus the face of an …
