This article addresses three issues in face processing: First, is face processing primarily
accomplished by the right hemisphere, or do both left-and right-hemisphere mechanisms …

Behavioral studies indicate a right hemisphere advantage for processing a face as a whole
and a left hemisphere superiority for processing based on face features. The present PET …

Studies in healthy individuals and split-brain patients have shown that the representation of
facial information from the left visual field (LVF) is better than the representation of facial …

Are visual face processing mechanisms the same in the left and right cerebral hemispheres?
The possibility of such 'duplicated processing'seems puzzling in terms of neural resource …

In two behavioral experiments involving lateralized stimulus presentation, we tested whether
one of the most commonly used measures of holistic face processing—the composite face …

Recognition of faces is better when faces are presented in the left than right-visual-field.
Furthermore, this perceptual asymmetry is a stable individual characteristic. Although it has …

Two experiments examined the respective role of the cerebral hemispheres in face
perception and the nature of their contribution depending on task demands and on the …

Experimental and clinical studies have generally shown that the neural mechanisms for face
processing in man are (1) designed to deal with the configuration of upright faces and (2) …

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 …

Inverting facial stimuli disrupts recognition in human subjects more severely than does
inversion of other objects normally seen upright. Furthermore, this disruption affects …
