Face recognition is a critical skill for our social adaptation;
disorders of face recognition can impose very frustrating and
embarrassing problems on the affected person. Although face
recognition is usually an automatic and effortless process for most
of us, it entails very complex neural computations, most of which
are still beyond our knowledge. This book presents review of recent
scientific findings on face recognition and prosopagnosia
(face-blindness) and psychophysical studies that were conducted
with human observers including individuals with prosopagnosia.
These studies have investigated the manner in which faces are
represented in the visual system under changes in viewpoint and
image size. Using unique methods including synthetic faces, the
present work has extended the findings of previous studies and
provided insight into the neural mechanisms that underlie face
processing and prosopagnosia. Face recognition is a promising venue
of scientific and clinical investigations and offers a wide range
of commercial, security and law enforcement applications. The
reader should be somewhat familiar with psychophysical methods.
