Interest in the neural systems underlying social perception has expanded tremendously over
the past few decades. However, gaps between behavioral literatures in social perception …

Individuals with an autistic spectrum disorder are impaired not only in understanding others'
mental states, but also in self-regulation of social–emotional behavior. Therefore, a model of …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Face perception is a skill crucial to primates. In both humans and macaque monkeys,
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals a system of cortical regions that show …

A key goal of computer vision researchers is to create automated face recognition systems
that can equal, and eventually surpass, human performance. To this end, it is imperative that …

Faces are perceived holistically, a phenomenon best illustrated when the processing of a
face feature is affected by the other features. Here, the authors tested the hypothesis that the …

The rich and immediate perception of a familiar face, including its identity, expression and
even intent, is one of the most impressive shared faculties of human and non-human primate …

The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of primates is thought to be the final visual area in the
ventral stream of cortical areas responsible for object recognition,. Consistent with this …

Developmental prosopagnosia is characterized by severely impaired face recognition.
Individuals with this disorder, which often runs in families, have no history of brain damage …

Local field potentials (LFPs) arise largely from dendritic activity over large brain regions and
thus provide a measure of the input to and local processing within an area. We …
