Factors shaping categorical face processing
(C09*)
Subject Area
General, Cognitive and Mathematical Psychology
Term
since 2022
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 222641018
Project C09 combines psychophysics, eye tracking and neuroimaging with computational modelling to understand factors shaping face processing. Traditionally, face processing has been investigated in an isolated, domain-specific manner. Here, we will probe multi-facetted factors affecting face processing, such as its plasticity to artificial features and its dependence on domain-general visual field biases and scene context. Based on these findings, we will build multiple-domain computational models allowing for a comprehensive prediction of human face processing and the factors shaping it in natural contexts.
