Effects of contrast inversion on face perception depend on gaze location: Evidence from the N170 component.
Face recognition is known to be impaired when the contrast polarity of the eyes is inverted. We studied how contrast affects early perceptual face processing by measuring the face-sensitive N170 component to face images when the contrast of the eyes and of the rest of the face was independently manipulated. Fixation was either located on the eye region or on the lower part of a face. Contrast-r...
متن کاملThe Face-Sensitivity of the N170 Component
The study of face processing and its cognitive and neural basis is an exceptionally active research field (see Calder et al., 2011, for an overview). Numerous findings from electrophysiological studies using intracranial recordings (e.g., Allison et al., 1999) or event-related brain potentials (ERPs) have suggested the existence of face-selective cortical processing mechanisms. The N170 is an e...
متن کاملAutomatic face identity encoding at the N170
The N170 event-related potential component is currently under investigation for its role in face identity processing. Using a location-matching paradigm, in which face identity is task irrelevant, we observed a progressive decrease in N170 amplitude to multiple repetitions of upright faces presented at unattended locations. In contrast, we did not observe N170 habituation for repeat presentatio...
متن کاملThe Background of Reduced Face Specificity of N170 in Congenital Prosopagnosia
Congenital prosopagnosia is lifelong face-recognition impairment in the absence of evidence for structural brain damage. To study the neural correlates of congenital prosopagnosia, we measured the face-sensitive N170 component of the event-related potential in three members of the same family (father (56 y), son (25 y) and daughter (22 y)) and in age-matched neurotypical participants (young con...
متن کاملThe face-sensitive N170 encodes social category information.
Prominent models of face perception posit that the encoding of social categories begins after initial structural encoding has completed. In contrast, we hypothesized that social category encoding may occur simultaneously with structural encoding. While event-related potentials were recorded, participants categorized the sex of sex-typical and sex-atypical faces. Results indicated that the face-...
