Representations of familiar and unfamiliar faces as revealed by viewpoint-aftereffects
A viewpoint-dependent aftereffect occurs after prolonged viewing of a stimulus of a particular orientation, with the result that the test image is perceived to be facing away from the adapting orientation. Prior psychophysical work has led to the suggestion that the visual brain encodes a limited range of viewpoint information with regard to complex images. In this study, we investigated whethe...
متن کاملFace Distortion Aftereffects in Personally Familiar, Famous, and Unfamiliar Faces
The internal face prototype is thought to be a construction of the average of every previously viewed face (Schwaninger et al., 2003). However, the influence of the most frequently encountered faces (i.e., personally familiar faces) has been generally understated. The current research explored the face distortion aftereffect in unfamiliar, famous, and personally familiar (each subject's parent)...
متن کاملEarly electrophysiological correlates of adaptation to personally familiar and unfamiliar faces across viewpoint changes.
Behavioral studies have shown that matching individual faces across depth rotation is easier and faster for familiar than unfamiliar faces. Here we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to clarify the locus of this behavioral facilitation, that is whether it reflects changes at the level of perceptual face encoding, or rather at later stages of processing. We used an identity adaptation paradigm...
متن کاملThe M170 reflects a viewpoint-dependent representation for both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which the neural representation of faces in visual cortex is viewpoint dependent or viewpoint invariant. Magnetoencephalography was used to measure evoked responses to faces during an adaptation paradigm. Using familiar and unfamiliar faces, we compared the amplitude of the M170 response to repeated images of the same face with images of diff...
متن کاملDifferential sensitivity for viewpoint between familiar and unfamiliar faces in human visual cortex
People are extremely proficient at recognizing faces that are familiar to them, but are poor at identifying unfamiliar faces. We used fMR-adaptation to ask whether this difference in recognition might be reflected in the relative viewpoint-dependence of face-selective regions in the brain. A reduced response (adaptation) to repeated images of unfamiliar or familiar faces was found in the fusifo...
