Psychophysical evidence for a non-linear representation of facial identity
It has been proposed that faces are represented in the visual brain as points within a multi-dimensional "face space", with the average at its origin. We adapted a psychophysical procedure that measures non-linearities in contrast transduction (by measuring discrimination around different reference/pedestal levels of contrast) to examine the encoding of facial-identity within such a notional sp...
متن کاملLoci of the release from fMRI adaptation for changes in facial expression, identity, and viewpoint.
Face recognition involves collaboration of a distributed network of neural correlates. However, how different attributes of faces are represented has remained unclear. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging-adaptation (fMRIa) to investigate the representation of viewpoint, expression, and identity of faces in the fusiform face area (FFA) and the occipital face area (OFA). In an event-rel...
متن کاملRecognizing identity in the face of change: the development of an expression-independent representation of facial identity.
Perceptual aftereffects have indicated that there is an asymmetry in the extent to which adults' representations of identity and expression are independent of one another. Their representation of expression is identity-dependent; the magnitude of expression aftereffects is reduced when the adaptation and test stimuli have different identities. In contrast, their representation of identity is ex...
متن کاملNeural basis of visually guided head movements studied with fMRI.
We used event-related fMRI to measure brain activity while subjects performed saccadic eye, head, and gaze movements to visually presented targets. Two distinct patterns of response were observed. One set of areas was equally active during eye, head, and gaze movements and consisted of the superior and inferior subdivisions of the frontal eye fields, the supplementary eye field, the intrapariet...
متن کاملThe expressions of strangers: our identity-independent representation of facial expression.
Evidence suggests that underlying the human system processing facial expressions are two types of representation of expression: one dependent on identity and the other independent of identity. We recently presented findings indicating that identity-dependent representations are encoded using a prototype-referenced scheme, in a manner notably similar to that proposed for facial identity. Could i...
