Applying the Psychologist's Microelectrode to High-Level Vision: What face aftereffects can tell us about face processing.

后效是心理学家的微电极，它可以显示我们的视觉体验如何与神经活动相关。在众所周知的瀑布错觉中，当观看瀑布时，编码向下运动的神经元变得疲惫，使得河岸上静止的物体似乎向上移动。看一张脸几秒钟也会有类似的效果，导致之前中性或普通的脸呈现出相反的身份。在这里，我们探索这个和其他面孔的后效可以告诉我们关于面孔是如何在高级视觉中编码的。

Aftereffects, the psychologist's microelectrode, can show how our visual experience relates to neural activity. In the well-known waterfall illusion, neurons coding downwards motion become fatigued while watching a waterfall, making stationary objects on the riverbank appear to move upwards. Viewing a face for a few seconds can have a similar effect, causing a previously neutral or average face to take on the opposite identity. Here we explore what this and other face afterffects can tell us about how faces are coded in high level vision.
