Dear Users
This Thursday (YNiC open plan from 4.30 pm) there will be an internal
project proposal presentation by Amie Hayes on "How is viewpoint
represented in face-selective regions of the human brain?".
Abstract: The perception of faces is a simple and effortless process for
most human observers. However, the apparent ease with which recognition
takes place belies its inherent complexities. For example, when the head
moves, the image on the retina also changes. To be useful, the visual
system must take into account these sources of variation to facilitate
recognition, but at the same time be able to detect changeable aspects
of faces that are important in social communication. The aim of this
study is to ask how information about the viewpoint of the face is
represented in different face-selective regions of the human brain.
Using MVPA, I will investigate the reliability of patterns of response
to faces with different viewpoints.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards.
Best wishes
Rebecca
