Behaviorally Relevant Abstract Object Identity Representation in the Human Parietal Cortex
(Society for Neuroscience, 2016)The representation of object identity is fundamental to human vision. Using fMRI and multivoxel pattern analysis, here we report the representation of highly abstract object identity information in human parietal cortex. ... -
Brain Networks for Analyzing Eye Gaze
(Elsevier, 2003)The eyes convey a wealth of information in social interactions. This information is analyzed by multiple brain networks, which we identified using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subjects attempted to detect ... -
Capturing Specific Abilities as a Window into Human Individuality: The Example of Face Recognition
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Proper characterization of each individual's unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses requires good measures of diverse abilities. Here, we advocate combining our growing understanding of neural and cognitive mechanisms ... -
Electrophysiological Correlates of Spatial Orienting Towards Angry Faces: A Source Localization Study
(Pergamon Press, 2008)The goal of this study was to examine behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of involuntary orienting toward rapidly presented angry faces in non-anxious, healthy adults using a dot-probe task in conjunction with ... -
Emotion Processing and its Relationship to Social Functioning in Schizophrenia Patients
(Elsevier, 2002)Schizophrenia patients have demonstrated deficits in affect recognition. Whether this deficit is part of a general difficulty in face perception or a specific problem in affect recognition is debatable. However, there is ... -
The Frozen Face Effect: Why Static Photographs May Not Do You Justice
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)When a video of someone speaking is paused, the stationary image of the speaker typically appears less flattering than the video, which contained motion. We call this the frozen face effect (FFE). Here we report six ... -
High-Frequency Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation Enhances Perception of Facial Identity
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Recently, a number of studies have demonstrated the utility of transcranial current stimulation as a tool to facilitate a variety of cognitive and perceptual abilities. Few studies, though, have examined the utility of ... -
Neural Decoding Reveals Impaired Face Configural Processing in the Right Fusiform Face Area of Individuals with Developmental Prosopagnosia
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015)Most of human daily social interactions rely on the ability to successfully recognize faces. Yet ∼2% of the human population suffers from face blindness without any acquired brain damage [this is also known as developmental ... -
No Global Processing Deficit in the Navon Task in 14 Developmental Prosopagnosics
(Oxford University Press, 2007)Faces are represented in a more configural or holistic manner than other objects. Substantial evidence indicates that this representation results from face-specific mechanisms, but some have argued that it is produced by ... -
A Phenotype of Early Infancy Predicts Reactivity of the Amygdala in Male Adults
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)One of the central questions that has occupied those disciplines concerned with human development is the nature of continuities and discontinuities from birth to maturity. The amygdala plays a central role in the processing ...
