Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For social primates like us, faces may be the most biologically significant stimuli we view. Faces provide information not only about identity but also mood, age, sex, and direction of overt attention. Does our ability to extract this information from faces rely on special-purpose cognitive and neural mechanisms distinct from those involved in the perception of other classes of visual stimuli If so, how do those mechanisms work Do these mechanisms arise from experience alone, or is there an innate predisposition to create them How is face recognition affected by development and aging What is the relation between face-recognition and other cognitive functions such as memory and attention and the neural substrates that mediate them This Special Issue showcases the new findings from many investigators in this field who address these fundamental questions in studies that use a wide range of experimental techniques including brain imaging, ERPs, patient studies, and single-unit recording in monkeys. Among the investigators included in this issue are Ashbridge, Bentin, Eimer, Farah, Gauthier, Kanwisher, Logothetis, Moscovitch, Perrett, Puce, Tippett, and Tong.
