| | Face perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Face perception is the process by which the brain and mind understand and interpret the face, particularly the human face. | | | Probably because of the importance of its role in social interaction, psychological processes involved in face perception are known to be present from birth, complex, involve large and widely distributed areas in the brain and can be selectively damaged to cause a specific impairment in understanding faces known as prosopagnosia. | | | It is known that early perceptual experience is crucial to the development of visual perception and this orienting response undoubtedly encourages the rapid development of face specific skills such as the ability to identify friendly others and relatively complex pre-verbal communication. |

| | Gaze Control for Face Learning and Recognition |
| | Faces are central in human social interaction, providing critical information about the age, gender, emotional state, intention, and identity of another. | | | There is substantial evidence that the perception of faces by human observers may be “special” in at least two ways. | | | Scoring regions on an example face stimulus from the behavioral experiment. |

| | Face perception is concerned with how we recognise individual instances of a type of object. | | | Objectives You should be able to describe Marr and Nishihara's and Biederman's approach to object perception and discuss theories of object perception in the context of face perception. | | | Aims The aim of this lecture is to consider what a theory of object perception needs to explain and to outline experimental approaches to object and face perception. |

| | Pacific Views: Face Perception in Autism |
| | Persistent disuse of the region responsible for face recognition seems to cause it to atrophy, but the lack of a fundamental problem with this area is a great source of hope for future therapy for autistics of all ages. | | | The March issue of National Geographic is out, and research cited in its leading article on the mind indicates that even in adults, brain regions can shrink or grow their active connections within weeks of uncharacteristic use or disuse. | | | I have heard/read several times that the lack of eye contact had to do with being able to focus - if they weren't looking at you, they could concentrate on what you were ssaying. |

| | Faces of Perception: Science News Online, July 7, 2001 |
| | Faces contain two structural elements that are big-time baby pleasers but are by no means unique to faces, according to studies directed by psychologist Francesca Simion of the University of Padova, in Italy. | | | Whatever mechanisms enable neurologically healthy kids to develop face expertise in the fusiform gyrus may be unavailable to their peers with autism, Gauthier theorizes. | | | Evidence that faces enjoy special status in the brain comes from individuals with a condition called prosopagnosia. |

| | Stages of processing in face perception: an MEG study - Nature Neuroscience |
| | Two candidate stages of face processing are the categorization of a stimulus as a face, and the identification of a specific individual. | | | Further, the amplitude of this M100 response was correlated with successful categorization of stimuli as faces, but not with successful recognition of individual faces, whereas the previously-described face-selective 'M170' response was correlated with both processes. | | | Therefore, any difference between faces and houses seen in MEG responses cannot be explained in terms of differences in behavioral performance. |

| | BrainConnection.com - Research in Visual Perception: The Significance of Face Recognition - Part 1 |
| | Studies with monkeys suggest that unique face recognition mechanisms might exist, while brain imaging experiments, studies with babies, and studies of people who cannot recognize faces show evidence supporting both sides of the argument. | | | But unlike other objects, faces are intimately involved in communication, and our brains must be able to extract a tremendous amount of subtle detail from just a glance. | | | Today our ability to quickly recognize familiar faces and subtle facial gestures continues to be a source of great interest to anthropologists, psychologists, neuroscientists and doctors. |

| | Face Perception |
| | The phenomena of adaptation to the mean and adaptation and to variation have been demonstrated using low-level visual attributes such as luminance, colour, orientation and motion. | | | In Experiment 1 it was found that, while all conditions produced an aftereffect, there was a significant interaction between adapting and test orientation. | | | Recently, Michael Webster and colleagues have been investigating these phenomena at a higher level of the visual system using a paradigm of adaptation to distorted faces (Webster and MacLin, 1999). |

| | Otherwise, why else would infants view that combination face as different than the ones they were bored of, unless they recognized that it was a new combination of internal and external features. | | | In general, if infants at a particular age "perk up" to this combination face, then we would conclude that infants at that age process more than just the independent features; we would conclude that they are sensitive to the relationship between the features. | | | In this study, we are interested in whether infants process the independent features of a face or whether they process the correlation among those features. |

| | Responses to the named face varied significantly with time, being more similar to the responses to the other unfamiliar faces at the beginning of the experiment, but increasingly resembling the own-face responses near the end, especially at occipital-parietal locations. | | | Further, they found that a face with experimentally induced familiarity, Joe, modulated the N250 during the second half of the experiment, suggesting that the N250 component is sensitive to the degree of familiarity. | | | This stage of processing apparently takes place in the ventral occipitotemporal cortex, specifically in the lateral fusiform gyri, also referred to as the fusiform face area, and results in the N250r (Begleiter et al., 1995), which is thought to be related to face identification. |
