Age-related face recognition deficits are characterized by high false alarms to unfamiliar
faces, are not as pronounced for other complex stimuli, and are only partially related to …

Culture influences not only human high-level cognitive processes but also low-level
perceptual operations. Some perceptual operations, such as initial eye movements to faces …

Recently, a number of studies have demonstrated the utility of transcranial current
stimulation as a tool to facilitate a variety of cognitive and perceptual abilities. Few studies …

It is generally thought that faces are perceived as indissociable wholes. As a result, many
assume that hiding large portions of the face by the addition of noise or by masking limits or …

Do eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow actually make the eyes appear larger than they
really are? If so, by what percentage? To answer these questions, we used psychophysical …

Does an assimilative illusion like the Delboeuf illusion occur in the human face? We
investigated factors that might influence the perceived size of the eyes in a realistic face …

Humans' ability to recognize objects is remarkably robust across a variety of views unless
faces are presented upside-down. Whether this face inversion effect (FIE) results from …

We examined whether Asian individuals would show differential sensitivity to configural vs.
featural changes to own-and other-race faces and whether such sensitivity would depend on …

Using a gaze-contingent morphing approach, we asked human observers to choose one of
two faces that best matched the identity of a target face: one face corresponded to the …

It is well known that we utilize internalized representations (or schemas) to direct our eyes
when exploring visual stimuli. Interestingly, our schemas for human faces are known to …
