Previous experiments have shown that a brief encounter with a previously unfamiliar person leads to the establishment of new facial representations, which can be activated by completely novel pictures of the newly learnt face. The present study exami... Read More about How neural representations of newly learnt faces change over time: Event-related brain potential evidence for overnight consolidation.

Personal familiarity of faces, animals, objects, and scenes: Distinct perceptual and overlapping conceptual representations (2023)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Schipper, M., Popova, T., Burton, A. M., & Young, A. W. (2023). Personal familiarity of faces, animals, objects, and scenes: Distinct perceptual and overlapping conceptual representations. Cognition, 241, Article 105625. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2023.105625

While face, object, and scene recognition are often studied at a basic categorization level (e.g. “a face”, “a car”, “a kitchen”), we frequently recognise individual items of these categories as unique entities (e.g. “my mother”, “my car”, “my kitche...

Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning (2023)
Journal Article

It is well-established that familiar and unfamiliar faces are processed differently, but surprisingly little is known about how familiarity builds up over time and how novel faces gradually become represented in the brain. Here, we used event-related... Read More about Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning.

How quickly do we learn new faces in everyday life? Neurophysiological evidence for face identity learning after a brief real-life encounter (2023)
Journal Article
Popova, T., & Wiese, H. (2023). How quickly do we learn new faces in everyday life? Neurophysiological evidence for face identity learning after a brief real-life encounter. Cortex, 159, 205-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2022.12.005

Faces learnt in a single experimental session elicit a familiarity effect in event-related brain potentials (ERPs), with more negative amplitudes for newly learnt relative to unfamiliar faces in the N250 component. However, no ERP study has examined... Read More about How quickly do we learn new faces in everyday life? Neurophysiological evidence for face identity learning after a brief real-life encounter.
