The orientation in which a source image is captured can affect the resulting security in
downstream applications. One reason for this is that many state-of-the-art methods in media …

Visual abilities tend to vary predictably across the visual field–for simple low-level stimuli,
visibility is better along the horizontal vs. vertical meridian and in the lower vs. upper visual …

What cortical mechanisms allow humans to easily discern the expression or identity of a
face? Subjects detected changes in expression or identity of a stream of dynamic faces …

Horizontal information was recently suggested to be crucial for face identification. In the
present paper, we expand on this finding and investigate the role of orientations for all the …

Effective human interaction depends on our ability to rapidly detect faces in dynamic visual
environments. Here we asked how basic units of visual information (spatial frequencies, or …

Abstract Models of face processing suggest that the neural response in different face regions
is selective for higher-level attributes of the face, such as identity and expression. However …

Regions in the ventral visual pathway, such as the fusiform face area (FFA) and
parahippocampal place area (PPA) are selective for images from specific object categories …

Recent work demonstrates that human face identification is most efficient when based on
horizontal, rather than vertical, image structure. Because it is unclear how this specialization …

Human vision in the periphery is most accurate for stimuli that point towards the fovea. This
so-called radial bias has been linked with the organization and spatial selectivity of neurons …

In the context of perceiving individuals within and outside of social groups, there are distinct
cognitive processes and mechanisms in the brain. Extensive research in recent years has …
