Abstract

Illusory face detection tasks can be used to study the neural correlates of top-down influences on face perception. In a typical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study design, subjects are presented with pure noise images, but are told that half of the stimuli contain a face. The illusory face perception network is assessed by comparing blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses to images in which a face has been detected against BOLD activity related to images in which no face has been detected. In the present study, we highlight the existence of strong interindividual differences of BOLD activation patterns associated with illusory face perception. In the core system of face perception, 4 of 9 subjects had highly significant (p
