The size-tuning of the face-distortion after-effect

Abstract: Recently, Webster and MacLin demonstrated a face-distortion after-effect (FDAE) for both upright and inverted faces: adaptation to a distorted face makes a normal face appear distorted in the direction opposite to the adapting direction. Neurophysiological studies (e.g. Experimental Brain Research 65 (1986) 38) show that face-selective neurons in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) are remarkably size-invariant in their responses. If the site of adaptation underlying the FDAE is the homologous neuron population… Show more

“…This adaptation effect is analogous to the waterfall illusion, in which adaptation to upward motion makes a stationary pattern appear to move downward (6,7). These adaptation effects seem not to be entirely mediated by low-level mechanisms, because adaptation effects can transfer across both size and retinal position (4,8). A similar paradigm has also been used to demonstrate the existence of mechanisms tuned for the identity of particular faces (5).…”

“…Adaptation has been observed for a variety of visual features, such as size, orientation, curvature, spatial frequency, motion, and complex and natural images (Webster & MacLin, 1999). In particular, aftereffects have now also been observed with distorted faces (e.g., contracted or expanded, changed spatial frequency) that are size and retinal position invariant (e.g., Leopold, O'Toole, Vetter, & Blanz, 2001;Rhodes, Jeffery, Watson, Clifford, & Nakayama, 2003;Zhao & Chubb, 2001). Higher order adaptation to natural facial categories, such as gender, ethnicity, attractiveness, and identity, has also been shown (e.g., Leopold et al, 2001;Rhodes et al, 2003;Webster et al, 2004).…”

“…Adapting stimuli were larger than test stimuli (6.35 cm  6.35 cm), subtending a visual angle of 7.271  7.271. The size difference between adapting and test stimuli was included to ensure that any adaptation observed did not primarily reflect lowlevel (retinotopic) changes in the stimulus (Zhao & Chubb, 2001). …”
