Do congenital prosopagnosia and the other-race effect affect the same face recognition mechanisms? (2014)
Journal Article
Esins, J., Schultz, J., Wallraven, C., & Bülthoff, I. (2014). Do congenital prosopagnosia and the other-race effect affect the same face recognition mechanisms?. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 8, Article 759. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00759

Congenital prosopagnosia (CP), an innate impairment in recognizing faces, as well as the other-race effect (ORE), a disadvantage in recognizing faces of foreign races, both affect face recognition abilities. Are the same face processing mechanisms af... Read More about Do congenital prosopagnosia and the other-race effect affect the same face recognition mechanisms?.

Journal Article
Esins, J., Schultz, J., Bülthoff, I., & Kennerknecht, I. (2014). Galactose uncovers face recognition and mental images in congenital prosopagnosia: The first case report. Nutritional Neuroscience, 17(5), 239-240. https://doi.org/10.1179/1476830513y.0000000091

A woman in her early 40s with congenital prosopagnosia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder observed for the first time sudden and extensive improvement of her face recognition abilities, mental imagery, and sense of navigation after galactos...

Quantifying Human Sensitivity to Spatio-Temporal Information in Dynamic Faces (2014)
Journal Article
Dobs, K., Bülthoff, I., Breidt, M., Vuong, Q., Curio, C., & Schultz, J. (2014). Quantifying Human Sensitivity to Spatio-Temporal Information in Dynamic Faces. Vision Research, 100, 78-87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2014.04.009

A great deal of perceptual and social information is conveyed by facial motion. Here, we investigated observers’ sensitivity to the complex spatio-temporal information in facial expressions and what cues they use to judge the similarity of these move...

Right Temporoparietal Gray Matter Predicts Accuracy of Social Perception in the Autism Spectrum (2014)
Journal Article
David, N., Schultz, J., Milne, E., Schunke, O., Schöttle, D., Münchau, A., …Engel, A. (2014). Right Temporoparietal Gray Matter Predicts Accuracy of Social Perception in the Autism Spectrum. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44(6), 1433-1446. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-013-2008-3

Individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show hallmark deficits in social perception. These difficulties might also reflect fundamental deficits in integrating visual signals. We contrasted predictions of a social perception and a spatial–t... Read More about Right Temporoparietal Gray Matter Predicts Accuracy of Social Perception in the Autism Spectrum.

What the Human Brain Likes About Facial Motion (2013)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., Brockhaus, M., Bülthoff, H., & Pilz, K. (2013). What the Human Brain Likes About Facial Motion. Cerebral Cortex, 23(5), 1167-1178. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhs106

Facial motion carries essential information about other people's emotions and intentions. Most previous studies have suggested that facial motion is mainly processed in the superior temporal sulcus (STS), but several recent studies have also shown in...

Parametric animacy percept evoked by a single moving dot mimicking natural stimuli (2013)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., & Bülthoff, H. (2013). Parametric animacy percept evoked by a single moving dot mimicking natural stimuli. Journal of Vision, 13(4), Article 15. https://doi.org/10.1167/13.4.15

Identifying moving things in the environment is a priority for animals as these could be prey, predators, or mates. When the shape of a moving object is hard to see, motion becomes an important cue to distinguish animate from inanimate things. We rep...

BOLD signal in intraparietal sulcus covaries with magnitude of implicitly driven attention shifts (2009)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., & Lennert, T. (2009). BOLD signal in intraparietal sulcus covaries with magnitude of implicitly driven attention shifts. NeuroImage, 45(4), 1314-1328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.01.012

A lot is known about the neural basis of directing attention based on explicit cues. In real life however, attention shifts are rarely directed by explicit cues but rather generated implicitly, for example on the basis of previous experience with a g...

Natural facial motion enhances cortical responses to faces (2009)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., & Pilz, K. (2009). Natural facial motion enhances cortical responses to faces. Experimental Brain Research, 194(3), 465-475. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1721-9

The ability to perceive facial motion is important to successfully interact in social environments. Previously, imaging studies have investigated neural correlates of facial motion primarily using abstract motion stimuli. Here, we studied how the bra...

A dynamic object-processing network: metric shape discrimination of dynamic objects by activation of occipitotemporal, parietal, and frontal cortices (2008)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., Chuang, L., & Vuong, Q. (2008). A dynamic object-processing network: metric shape discrimination of dynamic objects by activation of occipitotemporal, parietal, and frontal cortices. Cerebral Cortex, 18(6), 1302-1313. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhm162

Shape perception is important for object recognition. However, behavioral studies have shown that rigid motion also contributes directly to the recognition process, in addition to providing visual cues to shape. Using psychophysics and functional bra...
