Summary: The study examined the effects of face disguise on face identification during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two types of face disguise, sunglasses and face masks, were used. It was found that sunglasses had a greater impact on sensitivity to face identity compared to face masks. Both disguises increased the tendency to report faces as familiar, but this bias was absent for full faces. The results also showed that congruence between the type of disguise used during study and test was crucial for memory retrieval.

Summary: Vision neuroscience has made significant progress in understanding the hierarchical organization of object representations, but there is limited research on the fine-grained visual similarities between objects that observers subjectively perceive. This study focused on the perceived visual similarities among real-world category exemplars and found that these similarities are most accurately reflected in the medial temporal lobe regions.

Summary: The study found that eyes and texture are major determinants of perceived biogeographic ancestry for both participant groups and for both face types. Contour, nose and mouth had decreasing and much weaker influence on race perception.

Summary: The study finds that our ability to perceive upright faces is a result of both evolved orientation-specific mechanisms and experience. A man with a congenital joint disorder, Claudio, showed similar performance with upright and inverted faces in detection and identity-matching tasks, indicating the contribution of evolved mechanisms. However, experience played a greater role in detecting Thatcherized faces.

Summary: Model-based analyses of fMRI data provide insights into the neural basis of similarity-based categorization. Prototype and exemplar representations were found in different brain areas, and some individuals formed both representation types simultaneously.

Summary: In this experiment, we found that maintaining a conservative or liberal decision criterion significantly affected frontoparietal activity in target versus nontarget contrasts. However, manipulations of discriminability had little impact on frontoparietal activity. The recognition memory task showed larger activations in frontoparietal activity compared to the visual detection task, indicating some domain specificity in the maintenance of decision criteria.

Summary: The researchers introduced a Female Cambridge Face Memory Test and compared it with the Male Cambridge Face Memory Test. The results showed that the female version of the test is a valid and internally consistent measure of unfamiliar face recognition.

Summary: Using fMRI, this study compared the brain responses of dogs and humans to live-action stimuli and videos, finding that video stimuli can effectively define face and object regions in the dog's brain. However, live stimuli appeared to elicit stronger responses in specific face areas of dogs' brains compared to video stimuli, while both live and video stimuli activated certain areas in humans' brains. The study suggests that videos can be used to localize brain regions of interest, although live conditions may be more salient.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that the upper and lower facial halves may be involved differently in holistic face processing. This study replicates and extends these findings. In Experiment 1, the researchers used the composite-face task to measure holistic face processing for the upper and lower facial halves separately. The results showed a stronger composite-face effect for the upper facial half compared to the lower half. In Experiment 2, the researchers investigated how facial information is integrated when participants focus on different features, using the perceptual field paradigm. The findings suggest that more peripheral facial information is integrated when participants focus on the upper facial half, highlighting the importance of focusing on the upper facial half in face processing.

Summary: The face inversion effect (FIE) occurs when upside-down presentation of stimuli impairs face processing more than other mono-oriented objects. Previous studies mainly compared upright face individuation, which people are good at, with object individuation that people are less familiar with. Therefore, the FIE may reflect differences in how categories are processed prior to inversion. However, new research suggests that the FIE is a product of familiarity with the identification process in upright conditions, rather than a selective effect for faces when stimuli are inverted.

Summary: The proposed method introduces a Saliency Search Network (SSN) to extract domain-invariant identity features for NIR-VIS HFR, addressing the challenges posed by modality gaps and occlusions. By automatically searching for efficient parts of face images and guided by an information bottleneck network, it effectively deals with modality discrepancy and occlusions.

Summary: The study found that in cognitively unimpaired older adults, age and lower A beta(42)/A beta(40) were associated with elevated p-tau181, while CSF A beta(42), A beta(40), and p-tau181 were each associated with poorer associative memory and diminished improvement in mnemonic discrimination performance across levels of decreased task difficulty. P-tau mediated the effect of A beta(42)/A beta(40) on memory.

Summary: Object and action perception in cluttered dynamic natural scenes rely on efficient allocation of limited brain resources to prioritize attended targets. Attention directed to action categories elicits tuning shifts in semantic representations across neocortex, interacting with intrinsic selectivity of cortical voxels for target actions.

Summary: The study of lightweight face recognition models has been important due to practical demands, but they often struggle with large face feature variations. This paper introduces MobileFaceFormer, a model that combines the effectiveness of CNNs in capturing local features and visual transformers in computing global dependencies to enhance facial feature interpretations.

Summary: Research has shown that metacognitive experiences can influence behavior, with curiosity playing a key role in memory search and information-seeking; experimental results demonstrate a positive relationship between FOK ratings and response times, as well as subsequent choices for restudy, indicating that unsuccessful retrieval experiences can induce curiosity and guide future learning.

Summary: The study found that compared to patients with unilateral temporal-lobe epilepsy, patients with bilateral temporal-lobe epilepsy not only exhibit deficits in familiarity but also in recollection, involving hippocampal abnormalities. The results confirm the contribution of the rhinal cortex to the generation of false familiarity in deja vu.
