“…SSVEP has been primarily used to study the brain's sensitivity to low-level properties of visual stimuli (contrast, phase, line orientation, spatial frequencies, motion, e.g., Ales & Norcia, 2009;Braddick, Wattam-Bell, & Atkinson, 1986;Campbell & Maffei, 1970;Heinrich & Bach, 2003;Tyler & Kaitz, 1977;see Regan, 1989), spatial and selective attention (e.g., Andersen, Müller, & Hillyard, 2009;Morgan, Hansen, & Hillyard, 1996), and figure-ground segregation (e.g., Appelbaum, Wade, Pettet, Vildavski, & Norcia, 2008;Appelbaum, Wade, Vildavski, Pettet, & Norcia, 2006). A few recent studies have also used SSVEPs with high-level visual stimuli and showed modulation of the SSVEP amplitude with the affective content of pictures (Keil et al, 2003), object familiarity (Kaspar, Hassler, Martens, Trujillo-Barreto, & Gruber, 2010), as well as to static and dynamic facial expressions (Mayes, Pipingas, Silberstein, & Johnston, 2009). However, to the best of our knowledge, none of these studies or other studies have attempted to use this method to address the issue of how (individual) faces are coded in the human brain.…”
