What can EEG tell us about a crowd of faces? In our new preprint, we combine neural decoding with GAN-based image reconstruction to recover information about ensemble summaries and examine the other-race effect. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper in Cognition: How do we visually represent our own face? We combined similarity judgments, face-recognition ANNs, and image reconstruction to show that self-face representations are visually recoverable. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #FacePerception #CognitiveScience

Excited to share my 1st Bluesky post: 2 studies reveal age biases in other-race face perception using GAN reconstruction and EEG. Congratulations to @moazshoura.bsky.social for this research - in collaboration with @dirkbwalther.bsky.social | www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Researchers harness brain activity to look at how we perceive faces from other racial groups differently

Researchers at U of T Scarborough have used brain activity and AI to reveal why we have a tough time recognizing facial details of people from other races.
