Journal ArticleDOI
Face recognition algorithms and the other-race effect: computational mechanisms for a developmental contact hypothesis
TL;DR: A developmental learning process that warps the perceptual space to enhance the encoding of distinctions relevant for own-race faces is suggested, which limits the quality of face representations for other- race faces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voxel-based morphometry reveals reduced grey matter volume in the temporal cortex of developmental prosopagnosics
Lúcia Garrido,Nicholas Furl,Bogdan Draganski,Nikolaus Weiskopf,John Stevens,Geoffrey Tan,Jon Driver,Jon Driver,Raymond J. Dolan,Bradley Duchaine +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that developmental prosopagnosics have reduced grey matter volume in several regions known to respond selectively to faces and provide new evidence that integrity of these areas relates to face recognition ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusiform gyrus face selectivity relates to individual differences in facial recognition ability
TL;DR: Findings associate individual differences in face processing ability with selectivity in core face processing regions, confirming that face selectivity can provide a valid marker for neural mechanisms that contribute to face identification ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parietal Cortex and Insula Relate to Evidence Seeking Relevant to Reward-Related Decisions
Nicholas Furl,Bruno B. Averbeck +1 more
TL;DR: The findings show that participants sought less evidence than predicted by an ideal observer model and their evidence-seeking behavior may relate to responses in the insula and parietal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rewarding feedback after correct visual discriminations has both general and specific influences on visual cortex.
Rimona S. Weil,Rimona S. Weil,Nicholas Furl,Christian C. Ruff,Christian C. Ruff,Christian C. Ruff,Mkael Symmonds,Guillaume Flandin,Raymond J. Dolan,Jon Driver,Jon Driver,Geraint Rees,Geraint Rees +12 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to investigate how rewarding feedback affected activity in distinct areas of human visual cortex, separating rewarding feedback events after correct performance from consequences of reward for spatially specific responses in V1.
