Functional imaging studies in humans have identified an area in the fusiform gyrus which is selectively activated by stimulation when exposed to faces called the fusiform face area (FFA). [4] Another area known to be activated by face stimuli is the superior temporal sulcus (STS). This region is particularly active when having to process facial ...
This is because processing inverted faces involves a piecemeal strategy. C.K.'s performance is compared to patients with prosopagnosia who are impaired in face processing but perform well identifying inverted faces. This was the first evidence for a double dissociation between face and object processing suggesting a face-specific processing system.
Prosopagnosia is a neuropsychological condition that impairs the sufferer's ability to recognize faces. It's also known as face-blindness, and those who are afflicted lack a skill that comes ...
