When the whole is only the parts: non-holistic object parts predominate face-cell responses to illusory faces Open
Summary Humans are inclined to perceive faces in everyday objects with a face-like configuration. This illusion, known as face pareidolia, is often attributed to a specialized network of ‘face cells’ in primates. We found that face cells i…
