“…In typical adults, the N170 component is thought to be related to early stage encoding of faces (Bentin, Allison, Puce, Perez, & McCarthy, 1996;Eimer, 1998Eimer, , 2000. The N170 is maximal over posterior temporal areas (typically measured at electrodes T5 and T6), peaks at about 170 ms after stimulus onset, is faster and larger to face stimuli compared to non-face stimuli, and does not differ based on the familiarity of the face (Bentin, Deouell, & Soroker, 1999;Eimer, 2000).…”
