In psychological experiments, participants are typically instructed to respond as fast as
possible without sacrificing accuracy. How they interpret this instruction and, consequently …

Studies of face perception in primates elucidate the psychological and neural mechanisms
that support this critical and complex ability. Recent progress in characterizing face …

Face perception is probably the most developed visual perceptual skill in humans, most
likely as a result of its unique evolutionary and social significance. Much recent research has …

Statistical encoding compresses redundant information from multiple items into a single
summary metric (eg, mean). Such statistical representation has been suggested to be …

Emerging evidence suggests a specialized mechanism supporting perceptual grouping of
social entities. However, the stage at which social grouping is processed is unclear. Through …

Despite the thousands of papers investigating the neural basis of face perception in both
humans and non-human primates, very little is known about how activation within this neural …

Certain numerical abilities appear to be relatively ubiquitous in the animal kingdom,
including the ability to recognize and differentiate relative quantities. This skill is present in …

Faces hold a substantial value for effective social interactions and sharing. Covering faces
with masks, due to COVID-19 regulations, may lead to difficulties in using social signals, in …

Human babies respond preferentially to faces or face-like images. It has been proposed that
an innate and rapid face detection system is present at birth before the cortical visual …

A subcortical pathway is thought to have evolved to facilitate fear information transmission,
but direct evidence for its existence in humans is lacking. In recent years, rapid, preattentive …
