A robust neural index of high face familiarity (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Tüttenberg, S. C., Ingram, B. T., Chan, C. Y., Gurbuz, Z., Burton, A. M., & Young, A. W. (2019). A robust neural index of high face familiarity. Psychological Science, 30(2), 261-272. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797618813572

Humans are remarkably accurate at recognizing familiar faces, whereas their ability to recognize, or even match, unfamiliar faces is much poorer. However, previous research has failed to identify neural correlates of this striking behavioral differen... Read More about A robust neural index of high face familiarity.

Properties of Familiar Face Representations: Only Contrast Positive Faces Contain All Information Necessary for Efficient Recognition (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Chan, C., & Tüttenberg, S. (2019). Properties of Familiar Face Representations: Only Contrast Positive Faces Contain All Information Necessary for Efficient Recognition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 45(9), 1583-1598. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000665

It is difficult to recognize the identity of a face presented in negative contrast. This difficulty, however, is substantially reduced when only the eye region is contrast positive in an otherwise negative face image, and recognition of these so-call...

Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training (2018)
Journal Article
Limbach, K., Kaufmann, J. M., Wiese, H., Witte, O. W., & Schweinberger, S. R. (2018). Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training. Neuropsychologia, 119, 197-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.08.010

A common cognitive problem reported by older people is compromised face recognition, which is often paralleled by age-related changes in face-sensitive and memory-related components in event-related brain potentials (ERPs). We developed a new trainin... Read More about Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training.

Same-gender distractors are not so easy to reject: ERP evidence of gender categorization (2018)
Journal Article
Rakic, T., Steffens, M. C., & Wiese, H. (2018). Same-gender distractors are not so easy to reject: ERP evidence of gender categorization. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 18(5), 825-836. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13415-018-0607-3

Social categorization appears to be an automatic process that occurs during person perception. Understanding social categorization better is important because mere categorization can lead to stereotype activation and, in turn, to discrimination. In t...

Inequality between biases in face memory: Event-related potentials reveal dissociable neural correlates of own-race and own-gender biases (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., & Schweinberger, S. (2018). Inequality between biases in face memory: Event-related potentials reveal dissociable neural correlates of own-race and own-gender biases. Cortex, 101, 119-135. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2018.01.016

Humans are more accurate at remembering faces from their own relative to a different ethnic group (own-race bias). Moreover, better memory for faces from an observer’s own relative to the other gender (own-gender bias) has also been reported, particu...
