This review focuses on low and intermediate stages of contour shape processing. It is split
into two main sections,'Contour Detection'and 'Shape Discrimination and Representation' …

Identification of a face is facilitated by adapting to its computationally opposite identity,
suggesting that the average face functions as a norm for coding identity [Leopold, DA …

The past few years have seen a marked increase in our understanding of how faces are
represented in the brain, with the discovery of new anatomical structures and new …

It is widely assumed that distributed bell‐shaped tuning (eg Radial Basis functions)
characterizes the shape selectivity of macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons, analogous to …

The neural principles of the encoding of face spaces in visual cortex are still unclear and
multiple competing theories have been proposed. Based on new electrophysiological data …

Colloquially, we commonly observe that some face images look more “like” an identity than
others. This experience stems from the fact that different images of the same identity can …
