Visual categorization is thought to occur in the human ventral temporal cortex (VTC), but
how this categorization is achieved is still largely unknown. In this Review, we consider the …

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 …

Modular and distributed coding theories of category selectivity along the human ventral
visual stream have long existed in tension. Here, we present a reconciling framework …

Object vision is commonly thought to involve a hierarchy of brain regions processing
increasingly complex image features, with high-level visual cortex supporting object …

The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …

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 …

Visual face identification requires distinguishing between thousands of faces we know. This
computational feat involves a network of brain regions including the fusiform face area (FFA) …

Extensive research has demonstrated that several specialized cortical regions respond
preferentially to faces [1–6]. One such region, located in the inferior occipital gyrus, has been …

A number of human brain areas showing a larger response to faces than to objects from
different categories, or to scrambled faces, have been identified in neuroimaging studies …

Face perception elicits activation within a distributed cortical network in the human brain.
The network includes visual (“core”) regions, which process invariant facial features, as well …
