The ontogeny of human empathy is better understood with reference to the evolutionary
history of the social brain. Empathy has deep evolutionary, biochemical, and neurological …

Deep learning models currently achieve human levels of performance on real-world face
recognition tasks. We review scientific progress in understanding human face processing …

From birth it is critical for our survival to identify social agents and conspecifics. Among
others stimuli, faces provide the required information. The present paper will review the …

Exposure to faces is known to shape and change the face processing system; however, no
study has yet documented infants' natural daily first‐hand exposure to faces. One‐and three …

Mature face perception has its origins in the face experiences of infants. However, little is
known about the basic statistics of faces in early visual environments. We used head …

One fundamental question in psychology is what makes humans such intensely social
beings. Probing the developmental and neural origins of our social capacities is a way of …

Cortical areas in the ventral visual pathway become selectively tuned towards the
processing of faces compared to non-face stimuli beginning around 3 months of age and …

Researchers from different backgrounds have an increasing interest in investigating infant
cognitive development using electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Although EEG …

Perceptual narrowing reflects the effects of early experience and contributes in key ways to
perceptual and cognitive development. Previous studies have found that unisensory …

Children take their first steps, speak their first words, and learn to solve many new problems
seemingly overnight. Yet, each change reflects previous developments in the child across a …
