Seeing Objects as Faces Enhances Object Detection
The face is a special visual stimulus. Both bottom-up processes for low-level facial features and top-down modulation by face expectations contribute to the advantages of face perception. However, it is hard to dissociate the top-down factors from the bottom-up processes, since facial stimuli mandatorily lead to face awareness. In the present study, using the face pareidolia phenomenon, we demo...
متن کاملSeeing faces and objects with the "mind's eye".
With the advent of functional brain imaging techniques and recent developments in the analysis of cortical connectivity, the focus of mental imagery studies has shifted from a semi-modular approach to a more realistic, integrated, cortical networks perspective. Recent studies of visual imagery of faces and objects suggest that activation of content-specific representations stored in the ventral...
متن کاملSeeing faces :
The neural mechanisms responsible for triggering visual hallucinations are poorly understood. Here, we report a unique patient whose hallucinations consist exclusively of faces, and which could be reliably precipitated by looking at trees. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), we found that, while face hallucinations was associated with increased neural activity in a number of cor...
متن کاملSeeing faces as objects: no face inversion effect with geometrical discrimination
Inversion dramatically impairs face perception, recognition, and discrimination. Yet it does not interfere with the ability to make precise estimates of facial feature distances. To investigate this discontinuity between facial feature distance estimation and general perception and recognition, we assessed the effect of inversion on the discrimination of differences in facial compression and el...
متن کاملSeeing Blobs as Faces or Letters: Modeling Effects on Discrimination
What is the difference between processing faces and other objects such as letters? What makes humans face experts, and what makes this expertise different from other identification skills? It is well known that people are very sensitive to the configural information in faces. How does the sensitivity to face configuration compare to sensitivity to configurations of other stimuli? To investigate...
