| summary | The face is the primary source of information for recognizing the identity of people around us, yet the neural basis of this impressive ability remains largely unknown. Here I will define the fundamental problem of face (identity) recognition, arguing that there is a species-specific expertise of humans at this function, supported by a category-selective right lateralized ventral occipito-temporal network of brain regions. I will then show how population-level and single unit neural activity can be directly recorded in the human brain with an original frequency-tagging approach to shed light on the neuronal mechanisms of human face recognition. |
