Inversion and Contrast Polarity Reversal Affect both Encoding and Recognition Processes of Unfamiliar Faces: A Repetition Study Using ERPs (2002, background): “…N170, which seems unaffected either by familiarity (Bentin and Deouell, 2000; Eimer, 2000a) or by directed attention (Séverac-Cauquil et al., 2000), is likely to reflect face encoding processes, especially the stages where representations of global face configurations are generated (Eimer, 2000b).”
Understanding the Nature of Face Processing Impairment in Autism: Insights From Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies (2005, background): “…but affects subsequent components such as the N250 recorded at inferior temporal lobe electrodes (repetition of famous faces; Schweinberger, Pickering, Jentzsch, Burton, & Kaufmann, 2002) and late components peaking after 400 msec (Eimer, 2000b; Henson et al., 2003; Mnatsakanian & Tarkka, 2003).”
Cortical specialisation for face processing: face-sensitive event-related potential components in 3- and 12-month-old infants (2003, background): “This conclusion is based on findings demonstrating that the N170 is unaffected by the familiarity of faces but is sensitive to experimental manipulations that alter the basic structural properties of faces e.g., inversion, feature scrambling (George et al 1996; Eimer 2000a; Eimer 2000b).”
Activation of Preexisting and Acquired Face Representations: The N250 Event-related Potential as an Index of Face Familiarity (2006, background): “ERP differences between familiar and unfamiliar faces have also been reported at a later time of about 400 msec poststimulus onset (Bentin & Deouell, 2000; Eimer, 2000; Paller, Gonsalves, Grabowecky, Bozic, & Yamada, 2000).”
Recognizing emotion from facial expressions: psychological and neurological mechanisms. (2002, background): “Whereas the construction of a detailed structural representation of the global configuration of the face thus seems to require about 170 ms (Eimer, 2000b), it appears that some rapid, coarse categorization of gender and emotion can occur with substantially shorter latencies, presumably indicating…”
Familiarity matters: A review on prioritized processing of personally familiar faces (2018, background): “The N170 (M170 in magnetoencephalography) is the earliest face-preferential response not driven by lowlevel visual information, which peaks at around 170 ms after stimulus onset at occipito-temporal sites (Bentin & Deouell, 2000; Eimer, 2000; Furey et al., 2006; Rossion et al., 1999; Schweinberger, ”
P300 brain computer interface: current challenges and emerging trends (2012, methodology): “The P300 is a component of the event-related potential (ERP) ﬁrst reported by Sutton (Sutton et al., 1967).”
Flashing characters with famous faces improves ERP-based brain–computer interface performance (2011, background): “Hence, the N400f may partially cancel out the P300.”
