Does face image statistics predict a preferred spatial frequency for human face processing?
Psychophysical experiments suggested a relative importance of a narrow band of spatial frequencies for recognition of face identity in humans. There exists, however, no conclusive evidence of why it is that such frequencies are preferred. To address this question, I examined the amplitude spectra of a large number of face images and observed that face spectra generally fall off more steeply wit...
متن کاملDoes face inversion change spatial frequency tuning?
The authors examined spatial frequency (SF) tuning of upright and inverted face identification using an SF variant of the Bubbles technique (F. Gosselin & P. G. Schyns, 2001). In Experiment 1, they validated the SF Bubbles technique in a plaid detection task. In Experiments 2a-c, the SFs used for identifying upright and inverted inner facial features were investigated. Although a clear inversio...
متن کاملPreferred Spatial Frequencies for Human Face Processing Are Associated with Optimal Class Discrimination in the Machine
Psychophysical studies suggest that humans preferentially use a narrow band of low spatial frequencies for face recognition. Here we asked whether artificial face recognition systems have an improved recognition performance at the same spatial frequencies as humans. To this end, we estimated recognition performance over a large database of face images by computing three discriminability measure...
متن کاملSpatial statistics of gaze fixations during dynamic face processing.
Social interaction involves the active visual perception of facial expressions and communicative gestures. This study examines the distribution of gaze fixations while watching videos of expressive talking faces. The knowledge-driven factors that influence the selective visual processing of facial information were examined by using the same set of stimuli, and assigning subjects to either a spe...
متن کاملUsing spatial frequency scales for processing face features and face configuration: an ERP analysis.
In the present study we examined the influence of spatial filtering on the N170-effect, a relatively early face-selective ERP difference associated with face detection. We compared modulation of the N170-effect using spatially filtered stimuli that either facilitated feature analysis or impeded configural analysis. The salience of inner face components was enhanced by presenting them in isolati...
