• Does physical interstimulus variance account for early electrophysiological face sensitive responses in the human brain? Ten lessons on the N170 (2008, background): “Hence, if Thierry et al. (2007a) were correct, all previous studies reporting clear reduced N170 for nonface objects should also have observed delayed N170 latencies for nonface objects, which is clearly not the case (see e.g. Goffaux et al., 2003; Rossion et al., 2000; see also Fig.”
• Early lateralization and orientation tuning for face, word, and object processing in the visual cortex (2003, background): “Second, compared to our previous study, pictures of cars were no longer presented in a full-front view (see Rossion et al., 2000, Fig.”
• Neural Bases of Cognitive Development (2007, background): “In adults, the effect of inversion on the N170 is specific for human faces and does not occur for inverted compared with upright exemplars of nonface object categories (Bentin et al., 1996; Rebai, Poiroux, Bernard, & Lalonde, 2001; Rossion et al., 2000), even animal (monkey) faces (de Haan et al.”
• Understanding the Nature of Face Processing Impairment in Autism: Insights From Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies (2005, background): “Facial inversion and partial decomposition of faces alters both the latency and amplitude of the component; these effects of inversion are specific to faces (Eimer, 2000b; Rebai, Poiroux, Bernard, & Lalonde, 2001; Rossion et al., 2000).”
• The visual word form area: expertise for reading in the fusiform gyrus. (2003, background): “enhanced perception of category members via an increased ability to integrate information across the entire stimulus [ 31 ].”
• Inversion and Contrast Polarity Reversal Affect both Encoding and Recognition Processes of Unfamiliar Faces: A Repetition Study Using ERPs (2002, background): “ERP studies have shown an increase in N170 latency and amplitude for inverted faces (Edmonds et al., 1997; Linkenkaer-Hansen et al., 1998; Rossion et al., 1999a, 2000) compared to upright faces; Bentin et al. (1996) found only an increase in latency with inversion.”
• Controlling low-level image properties: The SHINE toolbox (2010, background): “…about 170 ms after stimulus onset—as the first marker of face processing (e.g., Carmel & Bentin, 2002; Rousselet, Husk, Bennett, & Sekuler, 2008; Rossion et al., 2000), whereas other studies revealed earlier differences between face and object processing, possibly as early as 50-80 ms after…”
• N170 or N1? Spatiotemporal differences between object and face processing using ERPs. (2004, methodology): “…the N170, i.e. the increased latency and/or amplitude of this component for upside-down faces (Bentin et al., 1996; Linkenkaer-Hansen et al., 1998; Rossion et al., 1999, 2000; Taylor et al., 2001; Itier and Taylor, 2002), that is not found for inverted objects (Bentin et al., 1996; Rossion et…”
• Intergroup Perception and Cognition: An Integrative Framework for Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Social Categorization (2017, background): “We found that scarcity produced a selective delay in the N170 response for Black faces compared with White faces, relative to the control condition—a pattern of impaired configural processing typically observed for inverted faces that suggests a dehumanized perception (Hugenberg et al., 2016; Rossio”
• Multisensory visual-auditory object recognition in humans: a high-density electrical mapping study. (2004, background): “The visual N1 is thought to reflect, at least in part, the structural encoding of visual objects (e.g. Bentin et al., 1999; Eimer, 2000; Rossion et al., 2000; Murray et al., 2002).”
