Increasingly, the neural mechanisms that support visual cognition are being conceptualized
as a distributed but integrated system, as opposed to a set of individual, specialized regions …

People routinely make various trait judgments from facial appearance, and such judgments
affect important social outcomes. These judgments are highly correlated with each other …

A longstanding controversy concerns the functional organization of high-level vision, and the

Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to face recognition deficits in the absence of
brain damage. DP affects∼ 2% of the population, and it often runs in families. DP studies …

It has long been argued that face processing requires disproportionate reliance on holistic or
configural processing, relative to that required for non-face object recognition, and that a …

There is growing consensus that accurate and efficient face recognition is mediated by a
neural circuit composed of a posterior “core” and an anterior “extended” set of regions. Here …
