Faces are one of the most important visual stimuli we encounter on a daily basis. They provide us with information about not only people’s identities, but also how they are feeling, what they are looking at, their level of alertness, and so on. Although extracting all this information from a face seems effortless, it is in fact an incredibly complex task, and our understanding of how the brain accomplishes it is poor. This research is an attempt to give us a better understanding of one aspect of face processing; That is, we are seeking to elucidate how the visual system achieves the difficult task of recognizing individual faces.

人脸是我们日常遇到的最重要的视觉刺激之一。它们不仅为我们提供了关于人们身份的信息，还包括他们的感受、他们正在看的东西、他们的警觉水平等等。尽管从一张脸中提取所有这些信息看起来很容易，但实际上这是一项令人难以置信的复杂任务，而且我们对大脑是如何完成这一任务的理解很差。这项研究试图让我们更好地理解人脸处理的一个方面，即我们试图阐明视觉系统是如何完成识别单个人脸的困难任务的。
