This chapter reviews the contribution of electromagnetic measures, mostly event-related
potentials (ERPs), to our understanding of the time course of face processing in the normal …

Faces are perhaps the most important object category in visual perception, as faces of
conspecifics frequently convey behaviourally, socially, and emotionally relevant information …

A recent event-related potential (ERP) study (Thierry G., Martin, CD, Downing, P., Pegna, AJ
2007. Controlling for interstimulus perceptual variance abolishes N170 face selectivity …

According to current ERP literature, face specific activity is reflected by a negative
component over the inferior occipito-temporal cortex between 140 and 180 ms after stimulus …

A negative event-related potential (ERP) at occipito-temporal sites peaking around 150–
170ms after stimulus onset (N170) is typically larger for faces than other object categories …

Objectives: An event-related brain potential (ERP) study investigated how different
processing stages involved in face identification are reflected by ERP modulations, and how …

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 study of face processing and its cognitive and neural basis is an exceptionally active
research field (see Calder et al., 2011, for an overview). Numerous findings from …

The present study used a parametric design to characterize early event-related potentials
(ERP) to face stimuli embedded in gradually decreasing random noise levels. For both N170 …

OBJECTIVE:(1) To investigate the hypothesis that the vertex positive potential (VPP) and the
N170 ERP components reported in the face processing literature are two manifestations of …
