This chapter reviews the contribution of electromagnetic measures, mostly event-related
potentials (ERPs), to our understanding of the time course of face processing in the normal …

Electrophysiological recordings on the human scalp provide a wealth of information about
the temporal dynamics and nature of face perception at a global level of brain organization …

The differentiation of faces, facial expressions and affective pictures involves processes of
higher mental activity that have considerable applications in the psychology of moods and …

How fast are visual stimuli categorized as faces by the human brain? Because of their high
temporal resolution and the possibility to record simultaneously from the whole brain …

A recent event-related potential (ERP) study (Thierry G., Martin, CD, Downing, P., Pegna, AJ
2007. Controlling for interstimulus perceptual variance abolishes N170 face selectivity …

Recent research has shown that heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs), brain activity in
response to heartbeats, are a useful neural measure for investigating the functional role of …

To investigate face individuation (FI), a critical brain function in the human species, an
oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) approach was recently introduced (Liu …

Emotionally arousing events reach awareness more easily and evoke greater visual cortex
activation than more mundane events. Recent studies have shown that they are also …

Presenting different visual object stimuli can elicit detectable changes in EEG recordings,
but this is typically observed only after averaging together data from many trials and many …

Whether the development of face recognition abilities truly reflects changes in how faces,
specifically, are perceived, or rather can be attributed to more general perceptual or …
