Predictive Coding and the Neural Response to Predictable Stimuli (2010, methodology): “Further experiments however, ideally combining fMRI and single-cell electrophysiology (Tsao et al., 2006), are needed to identify whether the reductions in BOLD signal really do reflect a predictive coding-based explaining away or a fine tuning of sensory representations.”
Comparing face patch systems in macaques and humans (2008, background): “Recordings from the 2 middle face patches (24) have shown that these consist almost entirely of face-selective neurons.”
The neural basis of visual body perception (2007, background): “Subsequent recordings from individual neurons in the face-selective area (as identified with fMRI) revealed that almost all of the cells were strongly selective for face”
Mechanisms of face perception. (2008, methodology): “From (Sinha 2002a).”
Intelligent Information Loss: The Coding of Facial Identity, Head Pose, and Non-Face Information in the Macaque Face Patch System (2015, methodology): “Recent work in macaque monkeys has identified six discrete face areas where most neurons have higher firing rates to images of faces compared with other objects (Tsao et al., 2006).”
Foundations of Vision (2018, background): “Indeed, facial identity can be reliably decoded from their patterns of activity, whereas information about exemplars from other object categories has proven unreliable (Tsao et al., 2006).”
Optogenetic and pharmacological suppression of spatial clusters of face neurons reveal their causal role in face gender discrimination (2015, methodology): “We also performed six experimental sessions injecting muscimol at neighboring IT loci (at least 2 mm away from the closest recorded high-FD subregion), and we found no detectable behavioral impact on the face-discrimination task [repeated-measures ANOVA interaction test, F(4,20)=1.”
