We designed a fast periodic visual stimulation approach to identify an objective signature of
face categorization incorporating both visual discrimination (from nonface objects) and …

What is the stimulus presentation rate at which the human brain can discriminate each
exemplar of a familiar visual category? We presented faces at 14 frequency rates (1.0–16.66 …

Visual categorization is integral for our interaction with the natural environment. In this
process, similar selective responses are produced to a class of variable visual inputs …

Although humans discriminate natural images of faces from other categories at a single
glance, clarifying the neural specificity and spatio-temporal dynamics of this process without …

Background The human brain is frequently exposed to individual faces across a wide range
of different apparent sizes, often seen simultaneously (eg, when facing a crowd). Here we …

Understanding how the human brain discriminates complex visual patterns, such as
individual faces, is an important issue in Vision Science. Here we tested sensitivity to …

Electrophysiological recordings on the human scalp provide a wealth of information about
the temporal dynamics and nature of face perception at a global level of brain organization …

Face perception depends on two main sources of information—shape and surface cues.
Behavioral studies suggest that both of them contribute roughly equally to discrimination of …

How fast are visual stimuli categorized as faces by the human brain? Because of their high
temporal resolution and the possibility to record simultaneously from the whole brain …

The human brain rapidly and automatically categorizes faces vs. other visual objects.
However, whether face-selective neural activity predicts the subjective experience of a face …
