New preprint:
Do expectations about how a face moves depend on its shape?
Using reverse correlation and generative face models, we show that face shape changes expectations of natural expression dynamics.

We are happy to share our new paper (under review) on human face perception!
In this study, we investigated how face similarity judgments are affected by dynamic 3D vs. static 2D conditions 🗿.

New paper in Cortex:
Are representations of face shape and motion invariant or context-dependent?
Using fMRI decoding, we show both overlap and context sensitivity across the face network, challenging simple ventral-shape / dorsal-motion models.

New paper in Cognition: How do we visually represent our own face?
We combined similarity judgments, face-recognition ANNs, and image reconstruction to show that self-face representations are visually recoverable.

Dear face perception folks - I 3D printed some greebles (so far just the Samar family) mostly because I could.
Now I’m wondering: these might actually be useful as teaching tools or even for experiments.
Any ideas for cool/fun/clever things to do with physical greebles?
