Journal Article
Quinn, B. P., Popova, T., Green, P. C., Talfourd-Cook, R., & Wiese, H. (2024). The role of the eye region for neural correlates of familiar face recognition: The N250r reveals no evidence for eye-centred face representations. Visual Cognition, https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2024.2315787

Humans recognize familiar faces highly accurately. However, it is unclear precisely what information is stored in the underlying long-term face representations. While some have emphaszsed the importance of the eye region, other evidence has shown tha...

How neural representations of newly learnt faces change over time: Event-related brain potential evidence for overnight consolidation (2023)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Popova, T., Schipper, M., Zakriev, D., Burton, A. M., & Young, A. W. (2024). How neural representations of newly learnt faces change over time: Event-related brain potential evidence for overnight consolidation. Cortex, 171, 13-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2023.10.007

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
Popova, T., & Wiese, H. (2023). Developing familiarity during the first eight months of knowing a person: A longitudinal EEG study on face and identity learning. Cortex, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2023.04.008

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.

The time it takes to truly know someone: Neurophysiological correlates of face and identity learning during the first two years (2022)
Journal Article
Popova, T., & Wiese, H. (2022). The time it takes to truly know someone: Neurophysiological correlates of face and identity learning during the first two years. Biological Psychology, 170, Article 108312. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2022.108312

How long does it take to truly know a person? To answer this question, we investigated how event-related brain potential (ERP) correlates of facial familiarity (N250) and the integration of identity-specific knowledge (Sustained Familiarity Effect, S...
