Aftereffects support opponent coding of face gender.
Many aspects of faces derived from structural information appear to be neurally represented using norm-based opponent coding. Recently, however, Zhao, Seriès, Hancock, and Bednar (2011) have argued that another aspect with a strong structural component, namely face gender, is instead multichannel coded. Their conclusion was based on finding that face gender aftereffects initially increased but ...
متن کاملGender aftereffects in face silhouettes reveal face-specific mechanisms
Recently a parameterized face space has been created using profile face silhouettes (Davidenko, 2007). Face silhouettes provide enough information for accurate judgements of age, gender, attractiveness, and race, and their parameterization allows us to characterize the physical factors that affect these judgements. Here we use these stimuli to further probe the representation of face gender, by...
متن کاملOrientation-Contingent Face Aftereffects and Implications for Face-Coding Mechanisms
Humans have an impressive ability to discriminate between faces despite their similarity as visual patterns. This expertise relies on configural coding of spatial relations between face features and/or holistic coding of overall facial structure. These expert face-coding mechanisms appear to be engaged most effectively by upright faces, with inverted faces engaging primarily feature-coding mech...
متن کاملSimilar neural adaptation mechanisms underlying face gender and tilt aftereffects
Visual aftereffects have been found for a wide variety of stimuli, ranging from oriented lines to human faces, but previous results suggested that face aftereffects were qualitatively different from orientation (tilt) aftereffects. Using computational models, we predicted that these differences were due to the limited range of faces used in previous studies. Here we report psychophysical result...
متن کاملAdaptive face space coding in congenital prosopagnosia: typical figural aftereffects but abnormal identity aftereffects.
People with congenital prosopagnosia (CP) report difficulty recognising faces in everyday life and perform poorly on face recognition tests. Here, we investigate whether impaired adaptive face space coding might contribute to poor face recognition in CP. To pinpoint how adaptation may affect face processing, a group of CPs and matched controls completed two complementary face adaptation tasks: ...
