COGS 11.04 Face Perception
Faces are one of the richest sources of information for non-verbal communication. Through faces we recognize identity and infer the emotional and mental states of others, as well as where they are directing their attention. This course will focus on the neural mechanisms for face perception and how these mechanisms facilitate rapid extraction of cues that facilitate social interaction. Particular relevance will be put on the neural systems for representation of person knowledge. In addition to weekly readings, students will have a written exam at the end of the course.
