Study Details

The purpose of this study is to examine how the brain processes faces, which are some of the most important stimuli that we view, process, and make decisions about as we go through daily life. This project examines the dynamics of where and when in the brain information conveyed by faces is represented, how such information is modulated by context and goals, and how such information is used to make decisions about faces.
