Abstract

One of the most striking pieces of evidence for a specialised face processing system in humans is acquired prosopagnosia, i.e. the inability to individualise faces following brain damage. However, a sensitive and objective non-behavioural marker for this deficit is difficult to provide with standard event-related potentials (ERPs), such as the well-known face-related N170 component reported and investigated in-depth by our late distinguished colleague Shlomo Bentin. Here we demonstrate that fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) in electrophysiology can quantify face individualisation impairment in acquired prosopagnosia. In Experiment 1 (Liu-Shuang et al., 2014), identical faces were presented at a rate of 5.88 Hz (i.e., ≈ 6 images/s, SOA=170 ms, 1 fixation per image), with different faces appearing every 5th face (5.88 Hz/5=1.18 Hz). Responses of interest were identified at these predetermined frequencies (i.e., objectively) in the EEG frequency-domain data. A well-studied case of acquired prosopagnosia (PS) and a group of age- and gender-matched controls completed only 4 × 1-min stimulation sequences, with an orthogonal fixation cross task. Contrarily to controls, PS did not show face individualisation responses at 1.18 Hz,...Continue Reading
