Journal ArticleDOI
A network of occipito-temporal face-sensitive areas besides the right middle fusiform gyrus is necessary for normal face processing.
Bruno Rossion,Roberto Caldara,Mohamed L. Seghier,Anne-Marie Schuller,François Lazeyras,Eugène Mayer +5 more
TL;DR: Findings show that the integrity of the right OFA is necessary for normal face perception and suggest that the face-sensitive responses observed at this level in normal subjects may arise from feedback connections from the right FFA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facial expressions of emotion are not culturally universal
TL;DR: By refuting the long-standing universality hypothesis, the data highlight the powerful influence of culture on shaping basic behaviors once considered biologically hardwired and open a unique nature–nurture debate across broad fields from evolutionary psychology and social neuroscience to social networking via digital avatars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Culture shapes how we look at faces.
Caroline Blais,Caroline Blais,Rachael E. Jack,Christoph Scheepers,Daniel Fiset,Daniel Fiset,Roberto Caldara +6 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that face processing can no longer be considered as arising from a universal series of perceptual events, and the strategy employed to extract visual information from faces differs across cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holistic Processing Is Finely Tuned for Faces of One's Own Race
TL;DR: This work tested whether the integration of facial features into a whole representation—holistic processing—was larger for SR than OR faces in Caucasians and Asians without life experience with OR faces, and found that SR faces are processed more holistically than Or faces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultural confusions show that facial expressions are not universal.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that by persistently fixating the eyes, Eastern observers sample ambiguous information, thus causing significant confusion, and questions the universality of human facial expressions of emotion.
