Thirty years on from their initial observation that familiar voice recognition is not the same as
unfamiliar voice discrimination (van Lancker and Kreiman, 1987), the current paper reviews …

Visual cues usually play a vital role in social interaction. As well as being the primary cue for
identifying other people, visual cues also provide crucial non-verbal social information via …

The fusiform face area responds selectively to faces and is causally involved in face
perception. How does face-selectivity in the fusiform arise in development, and why does it …

How early blindness reorganizes the brain circuitry that supports auditory motion processing
remains controversial. We used fMRI to characterize brain responses to in-depth, laterally …

Sensitive periods in brain development are phases of enhanced susceptibility to experience.
Here we discuss research from human and non-human neuroscience studies which have …

Early blindness causes fundamental alterations of neural function across more than 25% of
cortex—changes that span the gamut from metabolism to behavior and collectively …

Ecological information offered to society through advertising enhances awareness of
environmental issues, encourages development of sustainable attitudes and intentions, and …

Social cognition skills are typically acquired on the basis of visual information (eg, the
observation of gaze, facial expressions, gestures). In light of this, a critical issue is whether …

Sounds activate occipital regions in early blind individuals. However, how different sound
categories map onto specific regions of the occipital cortex remains a matter of debate. We …

The ability to recognize someone's voice spans a broad spectrum with phonagnosia on the
low end and super-recognition at the high end. Yet there is no standardized test to measure …
