Human fMRI signals exhibit a spatial patterning that contains detailed information about a
person's mental states. Using classifiers it is possible to access this information and study …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

Short-term maintenance of verbal information is a core factor of language repetition,
especially when reproducing multiple or unfamiliar stimuli. Many models of language …

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of fMRI data has become an important technique for
cognitive neuroscientists in recent years; however, the relationship between fMRI MVPA and …

Humans readily form social impressions, such as attractiveness and trustworthiness, from a
stranger's facial features. Understanding the provenance of these impressions has clear …

The representation of object identity is fundamental to human vision. Using fMRI and
multivoxel pattern analysis, here we report the representation of highly abstract object …

In our everyday life, we continuously get to know people, dominantly through their faces.
Several neuroscientific experiments showed that familiarization changes the behavioral …

The visual system transforms complex inputs into robust and parsimonious neural codes that
efficiently guide behavior. Because neural communication is stochastic, the amount of …

Faces transmit a wealth of important social signals. While previous studies have elucidated
the network of cortical regions important for perception of facial expression, and the …

Event‐related potential studies using affective words have indicated that selective attention
to valence can increase affective discrimination at early perceptual stages. This effect most …
