Super-Recognizers, or Su-Perceivers? Insights from fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) EEG - Brain Topography The term Super-Recognizer (SR), which describes individuals with supposedly superior facial recognition abilities, may be something of a misnomer. In the same way that blind individuals would not be c...

🧠 #Neural #Reliability as a Marker of Face Processing Ability: Insights from Berlin Police #SuperRecognizers 🧠

- 11 SRs
- 3 #FPVS EEG experiments
- 8 challenging & professionally relevant face processing tests
- each SR Tested 2x - with a 2.5y gap

We have to PhD positions in Voice Communication Sciences (VoCS) vailble right now. Deadline for applications is mid March. Contact me if you want to discuss your application.

Thanks Tal! ☺️

The Neural Dynamics of Familiar Face Recognition Humans are highly efficient at recognising familiar faces. However, previous EEG/ERP research has given a partial and fragmented account of the neural…

New review paper on familiar face recognition with Gyula Kovács and Stefan Schweinberger. We review recent EEG/ERP findings and present an updated theoretical approach.

This warrants more nuanced & bespoke testing criteria for their deployment in practical applications.

We report 2 key findings...

1. Whichever factors distinguish SRs from controls, they are not face-specific.

2. SRs are not all cut from the same cloth. Rather, the factors distinguishing SRs from controls seem to be individual-specific.

FPVS: general methodology & experiments. Top: Schematic of a 6Hz visual stimulation frequency involving presentation of five base stimuli (b) and one oddball stimulus (o) per cycle. Bottom: Schematic of the three experiments: 1 Face Identity Discrimination; 2. Category Selectivity; 3. Duty Cycle

What's special about a #SuperRecognizer (SR) #brain?

Testing lab-identified SRs from the #BerlinPolice with 3 Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation #FPVS #EEG experiments, we targeted general visual & face-specific processing.
