Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Event-related potentials were recorded in adults, 6- and 12-month old infants during a face processing task where the participants passively viewed upright (HU) and inverted (HI) pictures of human faces. The analysis was guided towards finding evidence of developmental changes in the neural mechanisms involved in face processing. The electrophysiological signal (EEG) of interest was a negative potential peaking around 170ms (N170) after the presentation of the stimulus. The N170 is of smaller amplitude and shorter latency for HU compared to HI.
The analysis showed a classic N170 in adults and a putative “infant N170” in 6-month and 12-month old infants. The amplitude and latency difference between HU and HU was observed only in adults. The averages suggested that the infants N170 can be a broader version of the adults N170. Further analysis was performed on the averages in order to test for this apparent bandwidth difference. The EEG being a mixture of processes produced by several neural generators at the same time, we decomposed the signals into its different frequency components.
The wavelet-based multi-resolution analysis was applied to the averages and the results were compared across the 3 age groups.
The N170-related brain activity was extracted mainly in the alpha band (8-13 Hz) for adults, in the delta band (0-4 Hz) for 6-month olds and in both the theta (4-8 Hz) and alpha bands for the 12-month olds. These findings suggest that 6-month olds may be slower than adults and 12-month olds at processing pictures of human faces. It can reflect infants' more limited exposure to faces and/or a physiological characteristic of infants’ immature brains that makes them generally slower at processing information as a whole.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
This project represents the first piece of research to examine the possibility of the
electrocortical processing of remote staring detection. This was achieved by conducting
two experiments using different measures of electrocortical activity (ERP, EEG, etc),
skin conductance, and questionnaire data. Participants were isolated, and an automated,
double-blind, randomised and counterbalanced protocol was employed. Experiment one
involved a 2 x 2 design, where 20 participants were exposed to 48 repetitions of the
following stimuli: viewing a blank screen, a blank screen plus a remote stare, viewing a
face on the screen, and a face plus a remote stare. This experiment found that the addition
of a remote stare had no effect on the processing of a blank screen, but significantly
reduced the amplitude of the global processing of faces. There was no correlation
between these measures and questionnaire measures of private self-consciousness, social
anxiety and paranoia. Experiment two replicated the overall 2 x 2 design of experiment
one, but replaced the blank screen conditions with pictures of objects, resulting in 60
repetitions of the following: viewing an object on the screen, an object plus a remote
stare, viewing a face on the screen, and a face plus a remote stare. This experiment found
that the addition of a remote stare significantly increased the amplitude of the global
processing of faces and objects. There was no effect on skin conductance and no
correlation with the questionnaire measures. To summarise, this project suggests that
remote staring detection has a significant impact on the global processing of other
stimuli, but further experimentation is needed in order to understand the nature of this
effect.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A series of three experiments examining the potential electrocortical processing of remote staring detection are presented, followed by a fourth experiment to examine a potential artifact. The first experiment provides an initial exploration of this effect, finding primarily that “remote staring detection” has no evident time-locked processing associated with it on its own, but rather acts upon other processes occurring at the same time. The second experiment provides evidence that this effect is not related specifically to face processing, but can impact on other forms of processing as well. The third experiment uncovers evidence of a potential artifact that could explain the “remote staring effect”, which is verified in the final experiment. The overallresults are discussed in light of an interesting and subtle psychophysics effect that could potentially have an impact upon a wide variety of experiments that employ event-related measures of electrocortical processing.

Brain potentials and integration of external and internal features into face representations
Publication year: 2008
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167876008000214
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In this ERP study we analyzed how different orders of presentation of external and internal features influence the integration of facial components into face gestalts. Participants carried out a face-feature matching task in which, in each trial, external (E) and internal (I) facial features were presented separately and in sequence, followed by a complete unfamiliar face (matching or mismatching). For the E-I group of participants the order of presentation was external features, internal features and then the complete face. The I-E group viewed the internal features first. Mismatch effects in complete faces were more conspicuous and lasted from about 300 to 600 ms with the order E-I, while those with the order I-E were scarcely observable, and significant only from 450 to 470 ms. The external features tended to elicit a larger P150, while the N170 was preferentially associated with the internal ones. A P360, probably indicating stimulus relevance, was present in both groups for external features, while it was associated with internal features only in the I-E group. These results suggest that in the E-I order the binding of facial features into a single face representation occurs according to a stepwise process which facilitates the integration. In turn, in the I-E order the processing related to the two sets of features appears more dissociated and is of a more componential nature. Moreover, we propose that the external features may be especially relevant for object categorization, while internal features would be more closely related to subsequent configural mechanisms.

Brain potential correlates of the internal features advantage in face recognition
Publication year: 2010

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301051109002385
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Whereas some behavioral studies have shown that internal features are crucial for efficient face recognition in healthy adults, compared to external features, the brain mechanisms underlying this “internal features advantage” are still unknown. In the present study, the differential relevance of both subsets of facial features is addressed analyzing N400-like potentials elicited in a face-feature matching task, where external or internal features and complete face targets were displayed consecutively in each trial. Experiment 1 revealed a larger and longer-lasting N400-like effect with the prior presentation of internal features, which suggests more efficient processing of long-term face-related information. An analysis of neural sources in Experiment 2 revealed greater activation of frontal and left temporal brain areas in the processing of mismatching targets when preceded by internal features. Thus, brain electrical correlates of the “internal features advantage” could be verified around 300-400 ms post-stimulus and supported by a face-identity related neural network.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
We have examined the specificity of face and emotion recognition networks in relation to other object recognition modules in normal subjects and disease models of impaired perception/limbic processing, using Event-Related Potential and fMRI measures and techniques to study causality in face processing networks. Response invariance properties of face processing networks, in particular 3D abstract control objects and faces were also tested. Perceptual correlates of holistic object processing in normal subjects and neurodevelopmental conditions were also studied using “Mooney” abstract faces and hierarchical stimuli. We have proven that the basal ganglia structures are crucial for emotional processing of central vs. peripheral faces irrespective of oculomotor processing demands. We were also able to separate automatic from conscious aspects of emotional processing of faces, and have shown that the human amygdala has an important foveal bias for face processing of threat content. We have also used a novel paradigm that allowed for an explicit separation of the neural correlates of the sensory, perceptual and motor components in holistic face perceptual decision. This strategy was anchored on a well-defined neurochronometry of cognitive processes and helped elucidate the contribution of different regions in the visual stream and insular networks in perceptual decision-making and social cognition. We have also found Gamma band neural activity is related to perceptual “Eureka” effects when observing ambiguous dynamic faces. In sum our work elucidated the dynamics of low and high level affective face processing along the visual ventral stream, the amygdala and basal ganglia.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Title:
Long-term information and distributed neural activation are relevant for the "internal features advantage" in face processing: electrophysiological and source reconstruction evidence
Publication year: 2013

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones. In the present study we contrasted the processing of familiar and unfamiliar faces in the face-feature matching task to assess whether the so-called “internal features advantage” relies mainly on the use of stored face-identity-related information or if it might operate independently from stimulus familiarity. Our participants (N = 24) achieved better performance with internal features as primes and, significantly, with familiar faces. Importantly, ERPs elicited by identity mismatch complete faces displayed a negativity around 300–600 msec which was clearly enhanced for familiar faces primed by internal features when compared with the other experimental conditions. Source reconstruction showed incremented activity elicited by familiar stimuli in both posterior (ventral occipitotemporal) and more anterior (parahippocampal (ParaHIP) and orbitofrontal) brain regions. The activity elicited by unfamiliar stimuli was, in general, located in more posterior regions. Our findings suggest that the activation of multiple neural codes is required for optimal individuation in face-feature matching and that a cortical network related to long-term information for face-identity processing seems to support the internal feature effect.

Visual areas PPA and pSTS diverge from other processing modules during perceptual closure: functional dichotomies within category selective networks
Publication year: 2014
URL:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028393214001912
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The nature of neural processing within category-preferring visual networks remains an open topic in human neuroscience. Although the topography of face, scene, and object-preferring modules in the human brain is well established, the functional characterization, in terms of dynamic selectivity across their nodes is still elusive.
Here, we use long trials of perceptually impoverished images of faces and objects to assess the dynamics of BOLD activity and selectivity induced by perceptual closure within these regions of interest. Departing from paradigms involving immediate percepts, we used ambiguous images favoring holistic search and independence from low level stimulus properties.
By assessing the neural responses to images that go beyond the preferred category of the studied ROIs we could dissect the specificity of these processes as a function of the timing of perceptual closure and contribute to the debate regarding specialization of these modules.
We found that pSTS is a notable exception to the observation that category selective high-level visual areas also participate on the perceptual closure of their non-preferred category. A similar observation was found for PPA responses to faces. Most importantly, these observations directly link the pSTS region with the social processing network, which cannot be engaged by object stimuli.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2017.00210/full
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Dogs have been shown to excel in reading human social cues, including facial cues. In the present study we used eye-tracking technology to further study dogs’ face processing abilities. It was found that dogs discriminated between human facial regions in their spontaneous viewing pattern and looked most to the eye region independently of facial expression. Furthermore dogs played most attention to the first two images presented, afterwards their attention dramatically decreases; a finding that has methodological implications. Increasing evidence indicates that the oxytocin system is involved in dogs’ human-directed social competence, thus as a next step we investigated the effects of oxytocin on processing of human facial emotions. It was found that oxytocin decreases dogs’ looking to the human faces expressing angry emotional expression. More interestingly, however, after oxytocin pre-treatment dogs’ preferential gaze toward the eye region when processing happy human facial expressions disappears. These results provide the first evidence that oxytocin is involved in the regulation of human face processing in dogs. The present study is one of the few empirical investigations that explore eye gaze patterns in naïve and untrained pet dogs using a non-invasive eye-tracking technique and thus offers unique but largely untapped method for studying social cognition in dogs.

Understanding the development of face and emotion processing under a predictive processing framework
Publication year: 2019

http://content.apa.org/journals/dev/55/9/1868
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In the present work, we explore the development of processing of emotional facial configurations under a predictive processing (or predictive coding) framework. Predictive processing provides a new approach to brain function that has been used to explain a wide range of processes, from perception to socioemotional processing. The explanatory power of this framework for adult brain function is widely recognized, but it has yet to be systematically applied to understanding the developing brain. Studying the findings of developmental research under this framework may allow a deeper understanding of the predictive mechanisms and their ontogenetic course, and adds to knowledge on brain functions and developmental processes. Therefore, the goal of this work was to explore the potential complementarity of predictive processing and development. Specifically, we focus on how the development of facial and emotion processing may be understood under a predictive processing framework. The processing of facial expressions was selected because of the developmental relevance of these stimuli, their impact on general emotional development, as well as the large body of literature on this topic (comprised of both well-established but also incongruent findings, which a novel approach may clarify). Considering the main findings of developmental research on the processing of emotion-related facial configurations under this framework, we argue that predictive processing is consistent with developmental evidence and provides a promising avenue for developmental research, as it reveals new questions in the fields of development and emotion processing.

Effects of aging on face processing: An ERP study of the own-age bias with neutral and emotional faces
Publication year: 2023

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Older adults systematically show an enhanced N170 amplitude during the visualization of facial expressions of emotion. The present study aimed to replicate this finding, further investigating if this effect is specific to facial stimuli, present in other neural correlates of face processing, and modulated by own-age faces. To this purpose, younger (n = 25; Mage = 28.36), middle-aged (n = 23; Mage = 48.74), and older adults (n = 25; Mage = 67.36) performed two face/emotion identification tasks during an EEG recording. The results showed that groups did not differ regarding P100 amplitude, but older adults had increased N170 amplitude for both facial and non-facial stimuli. The event-related potentials analysed were not modulated by an own-age bias, but older faces elicited larger N170 in the Emotion Identification Task for all groups. This increased amplitude may reflect a higher ambiguity of older faces due to age-related changes in their physical features, which may elicit higher neural resources to decode. Regarding P250, older faces elicited decreased amplitudes than younger faces, which may reflect a reduced processing of the emotional content of older faces. This interpretation is consistent with the lower accuracy obtained for this category of stimuli across groups. These results have important social implications and suggest that aging may hamper the neural processing of facial expressions of emotion, especially for own-age peers.

Efects of expectation on face perception and its association with expertise
Publication year: 2024

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Perceptual decisions are derived from the combination of priors and sensorial input. While priors are broadly understood to refect experience/expertise developed over one’s lifetime, the role of perceptual expertise at the individual level has seldom been directly explored. Here, we manipulate probabilistic information associated with a high and low expertise category (faces and cars
respectively), while assessing individual level of expertise with each category. 67 participants learned the probabilistic association between a color cue and each target category (face/car) in a behavioural categorization task. Neural activity (EEG) was then recorded in a similar paradigm in the same participants featuring the previously learned contingencies without the explicit task. Behaviourally, perception of the higher expertise category (faces) was modulated by expectation. Specifcally, we observed facilitatory and interference efects when targets were correctly or incorrectly expected, which were also associated with independently measured individual levels of face expertise. Multivariate pattern analysis of the EEG signal revealed clear efects of expectation from 100 ms post stimulus, with signifcant decoding of the neural response to expected vs. not stimuli, when viewing identical images. Latency of peak decoding when participants saw faces was directly associated with individual level facilitation efects in the behavioural task. The current results not only provide time sensitive evidence of expectation efects on early perception but highlight the role of higher-level expertise on forming priors.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Perception is derived from the combination of priors and sensorial input. While priors are broadly understood to reflect experience developed over one’s lifetime, the role of perceptual expertise at the individual level has seldom been directly tested.
Aims
We explored the extent to which predictive processing differs as a function of expertise across different domains, namely categorization, individuation (i.e. identity processing), and low-level processing (perceiving a face across different viewpoints). This was done at the individual level by taking advantage of varying individual expertise with faces.
Method
Metrics associated with Expectations were analysed in reaction time data (behavioural tasks) and EEG recordings (neural tasks). Participants also completed independent measures of face and object expertise (CFMT+, CCMT).
Results
Work package 1 reveals that early perception is shaped by face expectation, with decoding of expectation over posterior areas, occurring from 100ms. This decoding of objects of expertise (faces) had a direct link with behavioral facilitation effects of face expectation associated with face expertise. In work package 2, we show that effects of expectation go beyond simple categorization, into higher level processing, namely, identity processing, finding a significant relationship between face identity expectation and individual face expertise.
Conclusions
We highlight the role of expertise on forming priors, providing support for the often-disregarded contribution of individual level variability. Future work will build on these findings to probe the role of expertise within the predictive coding framework in individuals displaying typical and atypical use of predictive cues.
