Abstract: Are visual face processing mechanisms the same in the left and right cerebral hemispheres? The possibility of such 'duplicated processing' seems puzzling in terms of neural resource usage, and we currently lack a precise characterization of the lateral differences in face processing. To address this need, we have undertaken a three-pronged approach. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we assessed cortical sensitivity to facial semblance, the modulatory effects of context and temporal response dynamics… Show more

“…Similar alignment of participants’ behavior and test stimulus properties was observed for the adult faces, which proved to be particularly important for interpreting our results. The focus on the left eye observed in the two typical groups (and also reported in other studies) could have been viewed as a product of the lateralization of face processing (Meng, Cherian, Singal, & Sinha, 2012; Rhodes, 1985). Crucially, however, the saliency model results indicate that the left eye also happened to be objectively useful for discriminating between the two adult face identities used in this experiment.…”

“…It has even been suggested that right and left FFA might be specialized in different aspects of face processing (Rossion et al, 2000;Meng et al, 2012). We therefore asked whether the voxel clusters identified here exhibit any lateralization across hemispheres.…”

“…Studies that identify brain structures involved in face recognition. At a lower mechanistic level, imaging studies have consistently shown that subjects presented with facial images have major activation of the fusiform gyrus, and that activation is greater than observed in subjects presented with other images (Meng, Cherian, Singal, & Sinha, 2012). Additionally, classic studies (Damasio, Damasio, & Van Hoesen, 1982) show that patients with damage in the fusiform gyrus exhibit prosopagnosia, an inability to recognize familiar faces.…”
