Visual Neuroscience: Face-Encoding Mechanisms Revealed by Adaptation
Faces convey a great variety of information, for example about the species, gender, age, identity and even mood or intentions. A recent study sheds light on the neural mechanisms for encoding a face's gaze direction.
متن کاملMechanisms of direction selectivity in cat primary visual cortex as revealed by visual adaptation.
In contrast to neurons of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) are selective for the direction of visual motion. Cortical direction selectivity could emerge from the spatiotemporal configuration of inputs from thalamic cells, from intracortical inhibitory interactions, or from a combination of thalamic and intracortical interactions. To distinguish bet...
متن کاملInteractions between concentric form-from-structure and face perception revealed by visual masking but not adaptation.
Findings from diverse subfields of vision research suggest a potential link between high-level aspects of face perception and concentric form-from-structure perception. To explore this relationship, typical adults performed two adaptation experiments and two masking experiments to test whether concentric, but not nonconcentric, Glass patterns (a type of form-from-structure stimulus) utilize a p...
متن کاملVisual adaptation and face perception
The appearance of faces can be strongly affected by the characteristics of faces viewed previously. These perceptual after-effects reflect processes of sensory adaptation that are found throughout the visual system, but which have been considered only relatively recently in the context of higher level perceptual judgements. In this review, we explore the consequences of adaptation for human fac...
متن کاملThe adaptation of visual arts and architecture to with AN attitude toward Emmanuel Levinas’s Face- To- Face philosophy
One of problems of today’s society is the fact that the artist is away from the profession of other arts and various social groups, as well as disregard of art and artist by the above groups and the consequent weakness of art in the community. The importance of establishing social interactions and Face- To- Face of different social groups with the arts and artists, as well as artist with other ...
