Faces are a rich source of information about the people around us. Identity, state of mind,
emotions, intentions, age, gender, ethnic background, attractiveness and a host of other …

The learning curve in perceptual learning is typically sampled in blocks of trials, which could
result in imprecise and possibly biased estimates, especially when learning is rapid …

The six basic emotions (disgust, anger, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise) have long
been considered discrete categories that serve as the primary units of the emotion system …

Background: Catecholamines affect response inhibition, but the effects of methylphenidate
on inhibitory control in healthy subjects are heterogenous. Theoretical considerations …

We make a rich variety of judgments on faces, but the underlying features are poorly
understood. Here we describe a challenging geographical-origin classification problem that …

Background Aging is often associated with behavioral impairments, but some people age
more gracefully than others. Why? One factor that may play a role is individual differences in …

We present a model of the whole visual train to estimate an individual's visual acuity based
on their eye's physical properties. Our simulation takes into account the optics of the eye …

Recent studies have shown that horizontal facial structure is important for face identification
(Dakin and Watt, 2009; Goffaux and Dakin, 2010). Also, sensitivity to horizontal structure is …

Practice makes perfect. In human olfaction, such plasticity is generally assumed to occur at
the level of cortical synthetic processing that shares information from both nostrils. Here we …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that selective processing of structure conveyed by
horizontally oriented spatial frequency components is associated with upright face …
