A threatening facial expression is a potent social sign of hostility or dominance. During the
past 20years, photographs of threatening faces have been increasingly included as stimuli …

Visual perception can be influenced by top-down processes related to the observer's goals
and expectations, as well as by bottom-up processes related to low-level stimulus attributes …

Human beings are remarkably skilled at recognizing faces, with the marked exception of
other-race faces: the so-called “other-race effect.” As reported nearly a century ago [Feingold …

The N170 is an occipito-temporal visual event-related potential that is larger in response to
faces than other nonface object categories and has been associated with the early activation …

We used a single-trial ERP approach to quantify age-related changes in the time-course of
noise sensitivity. A total of 62 healthy adults, aged between 19 and 98, performed a non …

Object-sensitive areas have been defined using functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI), but the time course of this cortical activation is largely unknown. In a high-density …

When the bottom halves of two faces differ, people's behavioral judgment of the identical top
halves of those faces is impaired: they report that the top halves are different, and/or take …

Abstract Stimulus‐locked, response‐locked, and ERP‐locked averaging are effective
methods for reducing artifacts in ERP analysis. However, they suffer from a magnifying …

Human faces capture attention more than other visual stimuli. Here we investigated whether
such face-specific biases rely on automatic (involuntary) or voluntary orienting responses …

Processing of faces as stimuli is known to be associated with a conspicuous ERP
component N170. Processing of fa-miliar faces is found to be associated with an increased …
