Mechanisms of face perception.
Faces are among the most informative stimuli we ever perceive: Even a split-second glimpse of a person's face tells us his identity, sex, mood, age, race, and direction of attention. The specialness of face processing is acknowledged in the artificial vision community, where contests for face-recognition algorithms abound. Neurological evidence strongly implicates a dedicated machinery for face...
متن کاملFacing facts: neuronal mechanisms of face perception.
The face is one of the most important stimuli carrying social meaning. Thanks to the fast analysis of faces, we are able to judge physical attractiveness and features of their owners' personality, intentions, and mood. From one's facial expression we can gain information about danger present in the environment. It is obvious that the ability to process efficiently one's face is crucial for surv...
متن کاملRevealing the mechanisms of human face perception using dynamic apertures
Faces are notoriously hard to perceive when turned upside-down. It is often claimed that perceptual decrements reflect a qualitative switch from parallel whole-face processing, to a serial analysis of individual features. To test this view, we examined observers' ability to categorize faces presented in their entirety, or viewed through a dynamic aperture that moved incrementally across the fac...
متن کاملThe Perception of Face
The perception of face gender was examined in the context of extending \face space" models of human face representations to include the perceptual categories deened by male and female faces. We collected data on the recogniz-ability, gender classiiability (reaction time to classify a face as male/female), attractiveness, and masculinity/femininity of individual male and female faces. Factor ana...
متن کاملDevelopment of Face Perception
This paper examines the development of face perception mainly in infancy and analyzes to what extent it does reveal a specific process. For that reason data drawn from object perception as well as from perception of one's own face will also be examined. Studying face recognition in infancy is a complex enterprise because several different abilities intervene in this phenomenon : the modes of vi...
