The extent to which famous distractor faces can be ignored was assessed in six
experiments. Subjects categorized famous printed target names as those of pop stars or …

We show that under natural viewing, the responses of cells in the temporal lobe of the
macaque to the sight of static head and body postures is controlled by the sight of …

Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon, a developmental psychologist and the mother of two young
children, demonstrates the way in which a young child's developing personality and …

We used functional MRI with an event-related design to dissociate the brain activation in the
fusiform gyrus (FG) and posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) for multiple face and gaze …

The inferotemporal (IT) cortex of the monkey lies at the head of the ventral visual pathway
and is known to mediate object recognition and discrimination. It is often assumed that color …

Preconditions for the processing of observed gaze direction were studied by spatial Simon
and compatibility effects. In five experiments, responses in the direction of a gaze were faster …

It is not known with certainty at which level of face processing by the cortex the distinction
between a familiar and an unfamiliar face is made. Subdural electrodes were implanted …

Changes to a scene that occur during an eye movement, image flicker, or movie cut are
difficult to detect. One way to measure change detection performance is with the flicker …

Perception of upright faces relies on configural processing. Therefore recognition of
inverted, compared to upright faces is impaired. In a functional magnetic resonance imaging …

This paper investigates face perception in a visual agnosic and prosopagnosic patient (SB).
Despite very extensive lesions of visual areas, SB remains capable of some visual …
