“…In previous studies, N250 was sensitive to immediate face repetition (Schweinberger et al 2002), face identity (Tanaka et al 2006) and face inversion (Itier and Taylor 2004b). The N-ERP250 in this study showed several similar findings to N250: (1) The sources of these components are the same: temporal ventral areas (Itier and Taylor 2004b;Schweinberger et al 2002), probably the fusiform gyrus.…”

“…For example, activities in the primary visual areas are evoked by the change in luminance, regardless of the stimulus shape. (2) The generator source of N170 has not yet been confirmed, although some regions such as the superior temporal sulcus (STS), inferior temporal (IT) area, and other surrounding regions are candidates, as reported in previous studies (Bötzel et al 1995;Herrmann et al 2005;Itier and Taylor 2004c;Mnatsakanian and Tarkka 2004;Pizzagalli et al 2002;Rossion et al 2003;Schweinberger et al 2002;Shibata et al 2002;Taylor et al 2001;Watanabe et al 2003); however, N170 could be contaminated with activity generated in the primary visual cortex, as described above. The source of M170 in previous MEG studies is considered to be only the IT area, since only the tangential dipole can be recorded by MEG (Deffke et al 2007;Halgren et al 2000;Linkenkaer-Hansen et al 1998;Sams et al 1997;Swithenby et al 1998;Tanskanen et al 2005;Watanabe et al 1999a, b).…”

Effect of configural distortion on a face-related ERP evoked by random dots blinking

Using random dots blinking (RDB), which reflects the activity of the higher visual area related to face perception, the following stimuli were presented. (1) Upright: a schematic face; (2) Inverted: the Upright stimulus inverted; and (3) Scrambled: the same contour and features as in Upright but with the spatial relation distorted. Clear negative components (N-ERP250) were identified at approximately 250 ms after stimulus onset. At the T5 and T6 electrodes, the peak latency was significantly longer for Inverted and Scrambled than for Upright. At the P4 electrode, the maximum amplitude was significantly larger for Scrambled than for Upright and Inverted. These results indicate that the delayed latency for Inverted and Scrambled reflects the involvement of the additional analytic processing caused by the configural distortion, and that the increase in amplitude for Scrambled indicates the existence of further processing caused by the distortion of the spatial relationship between the contour and features.

Autism involves a basic impairment in social cognition. This study investigated early stage face processing in young children with autism by examining the face-sensitive early negative eventrelated brain potential component in 3-4 year old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), typical development, and developmental delay. Results indicated that children with ASD showed a slower electrical brain response to faces and a larger amplitude response to objects compared to children with typical development and developmental delay. These findings indicate that children with ASD have a disordered pattern of brain responses to faces and objects at an early age.

“…However, this prediction clearly contradicts the reported relativedistance effects. Is it possible that our results may be related to facial-identity priming effects (Schweinberger, Pickering, Jentzsch, Burton, & Kaufmann, 2002), in which performance is improved when stimuli are preceded by highly similar faces (e.g., repetition priming)? However, there are some important differences between our results and facial-identity priming effects.…”

Relative judgment in facial identity perception as revealed by sequential effects

Existing models of facial identity perception often assume that information conveyed by facial stimuli provides the sole basis for identity judgments, largely ignoring the involvement of contextual effects. Capitalizing on sequential effects, the present study investigates whether facial identity is judged relative to a context shaped by stimuli presented in previous trials. When categorizing a sequence of facial identities, our results demonstrated that participants' categorization of current faces varied according to the local sequential context provided by the immediately preceding faces and, to some extent, by the preceding stimuli presented two trials prior to the current trial. Moreover, this variation depended on the relative distance between the preceding and current faces. Notably, the nature of these identity-based sequential effects was qualitatively different between male and female participants. Female participants tended to respond to the current faces with the same category label as on the preceding faces. However, male participants responded with the same label only when the relative distance was small, but responded with a different label when the relative distance was increasingly large. The present study demonstrates that relative information between the preceding and current faces may be used as evidence to inform a judgment. However, this process is multifaceted rather than unitary and depends in part on participant gender.
