The Word Superiority Effect: Modulation by Familiarity, Handwriting, and Inversion Open
Literate humans are expert in reading text. One proposed reflection of this expertise is a whole-word influence on the identification of letters. In the present study, we investigate the word superiority effect , and how language familiari…

Scanning faces: a deep learning approach to studying eye movements in prosopagnosia Open
Background Healthy individuals show fixation biases when scanning faces, likely toward the regions that are most informative for identifying faces. Some reports suggest that subjects with prosopagnosia, an impairment in face recognition, h…

The 2024 Richardson Lecture: Prosopagnosia – A Classic Neurologic Deficit Meets the Modern Era Open
Acquired prosopagnosia is a rare disorder, but it serves as a model for impairments in expert-level visual processing. This review discusses five key observations made over the past 30 years. First, there are variants, an apperceptive type…

James Sharpe’s Contributions to Neurology and Neuro-ophthalmology: A Posthumous Tribute 10 Years On Open
Dr. Sharpe was a leading eye movement researcher who had also been the editor of this journal. We wish to mark the 10th anniversary of his death by providing a sense of what he had achieved through some examples of his research.

Effects of Voice and Biographic Data on Face Encoding Open
There are various perceptual and informational cues for recognizing people. How these interact in the recognition process is of interest. Our goal was to determine if the encoding of faces was enhanced by the concurrent presence of a voice…

Effects of Faces and Voices on the Encoding of Biographic Information Open
There are multiple forms of knowledge about people. Whether diverse person-related data interact is of interest regarding the more general issue of integration of multi-source information about the world. Our goal was to examine whether pe…

Facial Identity And Facial Speech Processing In Developmental Prosopagnosia Open
Developmental prosopagnosia is the life-long impaired ability to recognize familiar faces. The neural basis of this condition remains a matter of investigation. Face processing networks are bilateral but have right hemisphere dominance, an…

Impact of visual speech on gaze following in monolingual and bilingual adults Open
Altered sensory and language experience can shape visual attention to faces. Hearing bilingual infants show increased visual attention to the mouth compared to monolingual infants. It is unclear how this altered visual attention to the fac…

Consensus Statement on Visual Rehabilitation in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Open
Optometric visual rehabilitation therapy has been used for a variety of visual disorders. Descriptively named entities such as posttrauma visual syndrome, visual midline shift syndrome, and vertical heterophoria syndrome are frequently dia…

Risk-Promoting Effects of Reward-Paired Cues in Human Sign- and Goal-Trackers Open
Animal research suggests trait-like individual variation in the degree of incentive salience attribution to reward-predictive cues, defined phenotypically as sign-tracking (high) and goal-tracking (low incentive salience attribution). Whil…

Looking-at-nothing: an ocular motor index of face recognition in control subjects and developmental prosopagnosics Open
When subjects are shown visual stimuli and then have to perform a task involving these stimuli after they have disappeared from the screen, they still tend to fixate the regions where those stimuli had been located, an effect called ‘looki…

Effects of language familiarity and style (font vs. handwriting) on the word inversion effect Open
Visual words and faces have very different properties, words being two-dimensional high-contrast binary stimuli and faces having complex mobile three-dimensional shapes. However, they are both visual stimuli for which humans have high expe…

Teaching Video NeuroImage: Bilateral Horizontal Gaze Palsies With Vertical Ocular Dysmetria From a Demyelinating Lesion of the Pontine Tegmentum Open
Impaired bilateral conjugate horizontal saccades can occur from bilateral abducens nuclear lesions,1 as seen in our patient with multiple sclerosis (Video 1 and Figure). Each abducens nucleus is a horizontal gaze center and innervates the …

Gambling disorder is associated with reduced sensitivity to expected value during risky choice Open
Background and aims Individuals with gambling disorder display increased levels of risk-taking, but it is not known if it is associated with an altered subjective valuation of gains and/or losses, perception of their probabilities, or inte…

Contrasting shared- and specific-mechanism accounts of developmental prosopagnosia: A new approach Open
The understanding of developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is dominated by two opposing views: (i) that DP reflects malfunction of a mechanism shared by face and object recognition, but which is more critical for face than for object recognitio…

Search for Face Identity or Expression: Set Size Effects in Developmental Prosopagnosia Open
The set size effect during visual search indexes the effects of processing load and thus the efficiency of perceptual mechanisms. Our goal was to investigate whether individuals with developmental prosopagnosia show increased set size effe…

Looking beyond the face area: lesion network mapping of prosopagnosia Open
Face blindness can occur after injury to a variety of brain locations, and yet the regions critical for face recognition remain unclear. Cohen et al. show that lesions that cause face blindness map to a specific brain network, and use this…

The Scanpaths of Subjects with Developmental Prosopagnosia during a Face Memory Task Open
The scanpaths of healthy subjects show biases towards the upper face, the eyes and the center of the face, which suggests that their fixations are guided by a feature hierarchy towards the regions most informative for face identification. …

Progress in perceptual research: the case of prosopagnosia Open
Prosopagnosia is an impairment in the ability to recognize faces and can be acquired after a brain lesion or occur as a developmental variant. Studies of prosopagnosia make important contributions to our understanding of face processing an…

Music Perception in Acquired Prosopagnosia: An Anterior Temporal Syndrome for Faces, Voices and Music Open
Background Acquired prosopagnosia is often associated with other deficits, such as dyschromatopsia and topographagnosia, from damage to adjacent perceptual networks. A recent study showed that some subjects with developmental prosopagnosia…

Dopamine replacement remediates risk aversion in Parkinson’s disease in a value-independent manner Open
Introduction Clinical evidence suggests that Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients are risk averse. Dopaminergic therapy has been reported to increase risk tolerance, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Some studies have suggested an am…
