The inversion of a picture of a face hampers the accuracy and speed at which observers can
perceptually process it. Event-related potentials and pupillary responses, successfully used …

Background While there is a general agreement that picture-plane inversion is more
detrimental to face processing than to other seemingly complex visual objects, the origin of …

It is widely reported that inverting a face dramatically affects its recognition. Previous studies
have shown that face inversion increases the amplitude and delays the latency of the face …

Behavioral studies have shown that picture-plane inversion impacts face and object
recognition differently, thereby suggesting face-specific processing mechanisms in the …

Face recognition is more strongly impaired by stimulus inversion than nonface object
recognition. This phenomenon, known as the face inversion effect (FIE), suggests that the …

Face inversion effects occur for both behavioral and electrophysiological responses when
people view faces. In EEG, inverted faces are often reported to evoke an enhanced …

Recent work has reported that the first Event-Related Potential (ERP) component to carry
scene-selective information is the posterior P2 component (peaking 220ms post-stimulus …

Picture-plane inversion dramatically impairs face recognition. Behavioral and event-related
potential (ERP) studies suggest that this effect takes place during perceptual encoding of the …

Many studies using electroencephalography consistently reported a larger N170 (N1)
response in the visual cortices to inverted than upright face images (the face inversion effect …

It was investigated how face inversion affects face-specific components of event-related
brain potentials (ERPs) which are assumed to reflect the structural encoding and the …
