在过去的几年里，随着新的解剖结构和表征人脸的新算法的发现，我们对人脸在大脑中的表现方式的理解有了显著的提高。尽管如此，灵长类视觉系统用来识别人脸的基本计算机制仍然是一个激烈争论的话题。面是通过匹配一组存储的样本来表示的，还是通过沿着一组不同的轴沿着测量与标准原型的距离来表示的？罗兹和杰弗里最近的一篇文章提供了令人信服的心理物理证据，支持后一种“轴”模型。
The past few years have seen a marked increase in our understanding of how faces are represented in the brain, with the discovery of new anatomical structures and new algorithms for representing faces. Still, the basic computational mechanism used by the primate visual system to identify faces remains a topic of intense debate. Are faces represented by matching to a set of stored exemplars, or by measuring the distance from a standard prototype along a set of different axes? A recent article by Rhodes and Jeffery provides compelling psychophysical evidence in favor of the latter ‘axis' model.
