  The Functional Architecture of Face Processing in the Primate Brain  
(VTC)

Leslie Ungerleider, PhD
Chief of the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition
National Institute of Mental Health
Bethesda, Maryland

A public lecture in the Distinguished Visiting Scholars Series

Face recognition is a remarkable ability, given the tens of thousands of different faces we can recognize, sometimes even many years after a single encounter. Because of this unique ability, it has been proposed that there may exist specialized neural machinery dedicated to face recognition, as compared to the recognition of non-face objects. Dr. Ungerleider will discuss recent brain imaging studies exploring the functional architecture of face processing in the primate brain. She will focus on the network dynamics mediating the discrimination and recognition of both facial identity and facial expression.
