چکیده

Johnny Cash. Upon boarding an airplane, I turned around, and there he was—the “Man in Black” (truly dressed in black and carrying a black guitar case).

Formal testing indicates that he is also severely impaired at remembering pre-experimentally unfamiliar faces and that he takes an extremely long time to identify famous faces and to match unfamiliar face...

Here, we provide the first formal data on their face memory.

Social and emotional attachment in the neural representation of faces.

To dissociate the role of visual familiarity from the role of social and emotional factors in recognizing familiar individuals, we measured neural activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while subjects viewed (1) faces of personally familiar individuals (i.e. friends and family), (2) faces of famous individuals, and (3) faces of strangers. Personally familiar faces evoked a ...

Humans are remarkably adept at recognizing individuals by their faces1, an ability that may rely on specialized neural circuits. Findings from brain-damaged ‘prosopagnosic’ patients with deficient face processing2–7 as well as physiological data from nonhuman primates8 have now been supplemented by functional imaging. Certain ventral occipito-temporal areas of the human brain, centered around t...

Is the Thatcher Illusion Modulated by Face Familiarity? Evidence from an Eye Tracking Study

Thompson (1980) first detected and described the Thatcher Illusion, where participants instantly perceive an upright face with inverted eyes and mouth as grotesque, but fail to do so when the same face is inverted. One prominent but controversial explanation is that the processing of configural information is disrupted in inverted faces. Studies investigating the Thatcher Illusion either used f...
