Gaze direction affects the magnitude of face identity aftereffects.
The face perception system partly owes its efficiency to adaptive mechanisms that constantly recalibrate face coding to our current diet of faces. Moreover, faces that are better attended produce more adaptation. Here, we investigated whether the social cues conveyed by a face can influence the amount of adaptation that face induces. We compared the magnitude of face identity aftereffects induc...
متن کاملAbsence of Sex-Contingent Gaze Direction Aftereffects Suggests a Limit to Contingencies in Face Aftereffects
Face aftereffects (e.g., expression aftereffects) can be simultaneously induced in opposite directions for different face categories (e.g., male and female faces). Such aftereffects are typically interpreted as indicating that distinct neural populations code the categories on which adaptation is contingent, e.g., male and female faces. Moreover, they suggest that these distinct populations sel...
متن کاملGaze direction aftereffects are surprisingly long-lasting.
Adaptation to gaze direction induces aftereffects in the perception of gaze in subsequently presented faces. Gaze adaptation calibrates neural responses to the most frequently occurring gaze signals and therefore frees up capacity to respond to more novel signals, likely enhancing gaze discrimination and supporting novelty detection. The longevity of aftereffects can provide some insight into t...
متن کاملOrientation-sensitivity of face identity aftereffects
Our ability to recognize faces despite their similarity as visual patterns depends on high-level face-coding mechanisms that are strongly tuned to upright faces. If face aftereffects reflect adaptation of these mechanisms, as widely assumed, then they should be sensitive to face orientation. Previous studies have not supported this hypothesis, but have generally used a figural aftereffect parad...
متن کاملGaze direction modulates visual aftereffects in depth and color
Prior physiological studies indicate that gaze direction modulates the gain of neural responses to visual stimuli. Here, we test gaze modulation in the perceptual domain using color and depth aftereffects. After confirming retinotopy of the effects, we employed a balanced alternating adaptation paradigm (adaptation alternates between opponent stimuli) to demonstrate that opposite color and dept...
