The dissociation between object identity and object orientation observed in six patients with brain damage, has been taken as evidence for a view-invariant model of object recognition. However, there was also some indication that these patients were not generally agnosic for object orientation but were able to gain access to at least some information about objects' canonical upright. We studied...

Recent studies suggest that adaptation effects for face shape and gender transfer from upright to inverted faces more than the reverse. We investigated whether a similar asymmetry occurred for face identity, using a recently developed adaptation method based on contrast-recognition thresholds. When adapting and test stimuli shared the same orientation, aftereffects were similar for upright and ...

Upright images of faces appear more salient than faces of other orientations. We exploited this effect in a titration experiment where faces were superimposed in transparency. By manipulating the physical contrast of the component images, we measured the degree of perceptual dominance as function of the orientation of the face in the image plane. From these measurements, we obtain the orientati...

Current models of face processing support an orientation-dependent expert face processing mechanism. However, even when upright, faces are encountered from different viewpoints, across which a face processing system must be able to generalize. Different computational models have generated competing predictions of how viewpoint variation might affect the perception of upright versus inverted fac...

incapability in face perception and recognition is one of the main issues in autism spectrum disorders (asd). event related potential (erp) studies have revealed controversial insights on autistic brain responses to faces and objects. the current investigation examined the erp components of young children with asd compared to a typically developing (td) group when looking at the upright and inv...

One of the important process parameters affecting tensile strength and build time part is orientation. Therefore, in this study, FDM 3D-printed PLA parts were fabricated at different orientations to examine effects orientation on properties material. In regard, three print angles examined. According results, decreased when was aligned from flat upright direction 0° 90° printing angle. For orien...

We inherently maintain a stable perception of the world despite frequent changes in the head, eye, and body positions. Such "orientation constancy" is a prerequisite for coherent spatial perception and sensorimotor planning. As a multimodal sensory reference, perception of upright represents neural processes that subserve orientation constancy through integration of sensory information encoding...

Face-recognition ability has been claimed to be qualitatively different from other pattern-recognition abilities. One argument for this claim is the finding of a significant right hemisphere advantage for the recognition of upright but not inverted faces. However, this argument is justified only if this orientation-sensitive pattern is unique to faces. In the present study, comparable patterns ...
