The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

The face inversion effect (FIE) is defined as the larger decrease in recognition performance
for faces than for other mono-oriented objects when they are presented upside down …

The inherently multivariate nature of functional brain imaging data affords the unique
opportunity to explore how anatomically disparate brain areas interact during cognitive …

A number of human brain areas showing a larger response to faces than to objects from
different categories, or to scrambled faces, have been identified in neuroimaging studies …

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 …

For years, psychiatry has operated without a unified theory of behavior; instead, it has
spawned a pluralism of approaches--including biomedical, psychoanalytic, behavioral, and …

Human performance at categorizing natural visual images surpasses automatic algorithms,
but how and when this function arises and develops remain unanswered. We recorded …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) from 58 electrodes at standard EEG sites were recorded
while 14 subjects performed a delayed-matching task on normal and inverted faces. A large …

Neurophysiological experiments with monkeys have demonstrated that working memory
(WM) is associated with persistent neural activity in multiple brain regions, such as the …

This study compared effects of inversion on perceptual processing of faces with distorted
components (eyes and mouths) and faces distorted by altering spatial relations between …
