Face processing systems: from neurons to real-world social perception

W Freiwald, B Duchaine, G Yovel - Annual review of …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Primate face processing depends on a distributed network of interlinked face-selective areas
composed of face-selective neurons. In both humans and macaques, the network is divided …

Parcellating cerebral cortex: how invasive animal studies inform noninvasive mapmaking in humans

DC Van Essen, MF Glasser - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
The cerebral cortex in mammals contains a mosaic of cortical areas that differ in function,
architecture, connectivity, and/or topographic organization. A combination of local …

How face perception unfolds over time

K Dobs, L Isik, D Pantazis, N Kanwisher - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Within a fraction of a second of viewing a face, we have already determined its gender, age
and identity. A full understanding of this remarkable feat will require a characterization of the …

Social agent identity cells in the prefrontal cortex of interacting groups of primates

R Báez-Mendoza, EP Mastrobattista, AJ Wang… - Science, 2021 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Social groups play a foundational role in the behavior of many animal
species. During group interactions, an individual's behavior can affect not only the well …

High-level prediction signals in a low-level area of the macaque face-processing hierarchy

CM Schwiedrzik, WA Freiwald - Neuron, 2017 - cell.com
Theories like predictive coding propose that lower-order brain areas compare their inputs to
predictions derived from higher-order representations and signal their deviation as a …

More than the face: representations of bodies in the inferior temporal cortex

R Vogels - Annual review of vision science, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Visual representations of bodies, in addition to those of faces, contribute to the recognition of
con-and heterospecifics, to action recognition, and to nonverbal communication. Despite its …

A new look at domain specificity: insights from social neuroscience

RP Spunt, R Adolphs - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2017 - nature.com
The concept of domain specificity—which suggests that some aspects of neural processing
are specialized for particular types of stimuli—has been invoked to explain a range of …

Efficient inverse graphics in biological face processing

I Yildirim, M Belledonne, W Freiwald, J Tenenbaum - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
Vision not only detects and recognizes objects, but performs rich inferences about the
underlying scene structure that causes the patterns of light we see. Inverting generative …

The neural code for “face cells” is not face-specific

K Vinken, JS Prince, T Konkle, MS Livingstone - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Face cells are neurons that respond more to faces than to non-face objects. They are found
in clusters in the inferotemporal cortex, thought to process faces specifically, and, hence …

Twenty years of investigation with the case of prosopagnosia PS to understand human face identity recognition. Part II: Neural basis

B Rossion - Neuropsychologia, 2022 - Elsevier
Patient PS sustained her dramatic brain injury thirty years ago, in 1992, the same year as the
first report of a neuroimaging study of human face recognition. The present paper …
