Humans, being highly social creatures, rely heavily on the ability to perceive what others are
doing and to infer from gestures and expressions what others may be intending to do. These …

Neurophysiological evidence is described showing that some neurons in the macaque
inferior temporal visual cortex have responses that are invariant with respect to the position …

Our mental representation of object categories is hierarchically organized, and our rapid and
seemingly effortless categorization ability is crucial for our daily behavior. Here, we examine …

We report on neuropsychological testing done with a family in which many members
reported severe face recognition impairments. These 10 individuals were high functioning in …

In a laboratory experiment, we use a public goods game to examine the hypothesis that
human subjects use an involuntary eye-detector mechanism for evaluating the level of …

The amygdala is purported to play an important role in face processing, yet the specificity of
its activation to face stimuli and the relative contribution of identity and expression to its …

Facial expressions contain both motor and emotional components. The inferior frontal gyrus
(IFG) and posterior parietal cortex have been considered to compose a mirror neuron …

For the benefit of linguists new to the field of language evolution, the author sets out the
issues that need to be distinguished in any research on it. He offers a guided tour of …

Unlike most other objects that are processed analytically, faces are processed configurally.
This configural processing is reflected early in visual processing following face inversion …

Object recognition requires both selectivity among different objects and tolerance to vastly
different retinal images of the same object, resulting from natural variation in (eg) position …
