Visual Experience and Faces
Speaker

Info
It is estimated that ~20% of all the visual information falling on the human retina//consists of upright faces. Although the behavioral and neural signatures of face processing have been well studied, not much is known about how long-term visual experience shapes them. The incoming visual experience of faces is thought to have a changeable component (such as expression and gaze direction) and an invariant component (such as the configuration of features).
