Eyes and gaze are very important stimuli for human social interactions. Recent studies
suggest that impairments in recognizing face identity, facial emotions or in inferring attention …

By measuring regional cerebral blood flow using PET, we delineated the roles of the occipito-
temporal regions activated by faces and scenes. We asked right-handed normal subjects to …

The 170-ms electrophysiological processing stage (N170 in EEG, M170 in MEG) is
considered an important computational step in face processing. Hence its neuronal sources …

Scene perception and spatial navigation are interdependent cognitive functions, and there is
increasing evidence that cortical areas that process perceptual scene properties also carry …

This study aimed at assessing the processing time of a natural scene in a fast categorization
task of its context or “gist”. In Experiment 1, human subjects performed 4 go/no-go …

Facial emotions express our internal states and are fundamental in social interactions. Here
we explore whether the repetition of unattended facial emotions builds up a predictive …

The neurophysiological basis of the face inversion effect was studied with magneto-and
electro-encephalography in 10 normal subjects. Spatiotemporal analyses using dipole …

Spatial reference frames (RFs) play a key role in spatial cognition, especially in perception,
spatial memory, and navigation. There are two main types of RFs: egocentric (self-centered) …

We used MRI studies of four patients to investigate the lesions responsible for landmark
agnosia. A detailed investigation of the relationship between the symptoms and the lesions …

The processing of upright, inverted and contrast-reversed faces was investigated using
MEG. Peak and global field power analyses revealed that the M100, M170 and M220 …
