What is the range of stimuli encoded by face-selective regions of the brain? Here, we asked how electrical microstimulation of these regions in macaque inferotemporal (IT) cortex affects the percept of faces and objects. We found that microstimulation strongly influenced the percept of faces, and this effect depended on precise targeting to the center of face patches. While microstimulation had no effect on the percept of many non-face objects, it did have a significant effect on the percept of some non-face objects including ones whose overall shape is consistent with a face (e.g., apples), as well as somewhat face-like abstract images (e.g., cartoon houses). Surprisingly, among the objects whose percept could be perturbed by microstimulation were ones that did not activate the stimulated face patch at all. These results indicate that representation of facial identity is localized to face-selective regions, but activity in these regions can also affect the percept of face-compatible non-face objects, including ones normally represented in other parts of IT cortex.
