Body language: norm-based face encoding by single neurons in inferotemporal cortex
|
| |
Tübingen, Germany (Nature): This research shows "that face-responsive neurons in the macaque monkey anterior inferotemporal cortex are tuned to a fundamental dimension of face perception. Using a norm-based caricaturization framework previously developed for human psychophysics [the authors] varied the identity information present in photo-realistic human faces, and found that neurons of the anterior inferotemporal cortex were most often tuned around the average, identity-ambiguous face."
