Horizontal information was recently suggested to be crucial for face identification. In the
present paper, we expand on this finding and investigate the role of orientations for all the …

It has previously been proposed that holistic face processing is based on low spatial
frequencies (SFs) whereas featural processing relies on higher SFs, a hypothesis still …

Purpose: Individuals with low vision often experience difficulties in performing tasks of daily
living, such as face perception. This leads them to having difficulties with social interactions …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by a central vision loss. Here, we
investigated the ability of AMD patients to process the spatial frequency content of scenes in …

The nervous system gives preferential treatment to objects near the hands that are
candidates for action. It is not yet understood how this process is achieved. Here we show …

Atypical face perception has been associated with the socio-communicative difficulties that
characterize autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Growing evidence, however, suggests that a …

Rapid decoding of emotional expressions is essential for social communication. Fast
processing of facial expressions depends on the adequate (subcortical) processing of …

Using an “information meter” provided by ideal observer analysis, we measured the
efficiency with which human observers processed different walking stimuli against …

The presence of symmetric properties in a stimulus has been shown to often exert an
influence on perception and information processing. Investigations into symmetry have …

Face perception is characterized by configural processing, which depends on visual
information in the low spatial frequency (LSF) ranges. However, it is unclear whether LSF …
