Schizophrenia is a mental disorder associated with a variety of symptoms, including
hallucinations, delusions, social withdrawal, and cognitive dysfunction. Impairments on decision-…

People recognize faces of their own race more accurately than faces of other races. The “contact”
hypothesis suggests that this “other‐race effect” occurs as a result of the greater …

Regions of the occipital and temporal lobes, including a region in the fusiform gyrus (FG),
have been proposed to constitute a “core” visual representation system for faces, in part …

Individuals with developmental prosopagnosia exhibit severe and lasting difficulties in
recognizing faces despite the absence of apparent brain abnormalities. We used voxel-based …

Patch foraging is a near-ubiquitous behaviour across the animal kingdom and characterises
many decision-making domains encountered by humans. We review how a disposition to …

Decisions are most effective after collecting sufficient evidence to accurately predict rewarding
outcomes. We investigated whether human participants optimally seek evidence and we …

The visual cortex is sensitive to emotional stimuli. This sensitivity is typically assumed to arise
when amygdala modulates visual cortex via backwards connections. Using human fMRI, …

Reward can influence visual performance, but the neural basis of this effect remains poorly
understood. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how …

During auditory perception, we are required to abstract information from complex temporal
sequences such as those in music and speech. Here, we investigated how higher-order …

Humans adeptly use visual motion to recognize socially relevant facial information. The
macaque provides a model visual system for studying neural coding of expression movements, …
