When appearance does not match accent: Neural correlates of ethnicity-related expectancy violations (2016)
Journal Article
Hansen, K., Steffens, M. C., Rakić, T., & Wiese, H. (2017). When appearance does not match accent: Neural correlates of ethnicity-related expectancy violations. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 12(3), 507-515. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsw148

Most research on ethnicity in neuroscience and social psychology has focused on visual cues. However, accents are central social markers of ethnicity and strongly influence evaluations of others. Here, we examine how varying auditory (vocal accent) a... Read More about When appearance does not match accent: Neural correlates of ethnicity-related expectancy violations.

Event-related potentials reveal the development of stable face representations from natural variability (2016)
Journal Article
Andrews, S., Burton, M. A., Schweinberger, S. R., & Wiese, H. (2017). Event-related potentials reveal the development of stable face representations from natural variability. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 70(8), 1620-1632. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2016.1195851

Natural variability between instances of unfamiliar faces can make it difficult to reconcile two images as the same person. Yet for familiar faces, effortless recognition occurs even with considerable variability between images. To explore how stable...
