Brain imaging studies in humans have shown that face processing in several areas is
modulated by the affective significance of faces, particularly with fearful expressions, but�…

Much of the work on face-selective neural activity has focused on posterior, ventral areas of
the human and non-human primate brain. However, electrophysiological and fMRI studies�…

Face gender, like many other things, is perceived categorically: Subjective perceptions are
distorted toward the categories, male or female, and the objective gradiency inherent across�…

Neural models of human face perception propose parallel pathways. One pathway
(including posterior superior temporal sulcus, pSTS) is responsible for processing�…

Several convergent lines of evidence have suggested that the presence of an emotion
signal in a visual stimulus can influence processing of that stimulus. In the current study, we�…

Current models of face perception propose that initial visual processing is followed by
activation of nonvisual somatosensory areas that contributes to emotion recognition. To test�…

In two fMRI experiments (n= 44) using tasks with different demands—approach–avoidance
versus one-back recognition decisions—we measured the responses to the social value of�…

Face processing relies on a distributed, patchy network of cortical regions in the temporal
and frontal lobes that respond disproportionately to face stimuli, other cortical regions that�…

Many studies provided evidence that the emotional content of visual stimulations modulates
behavioral performance and neuronal activity. Surprisingly, these studies were carried out�…

Current cognitive models suggest that the processing of dynamic facial attributes, including
social signals such as gaze direction and facial expression, involves the superior temporal�…
