Scientists uncover a brain circuit in primates that rapidly detects faces. Findings not only help explain how primates sense and recognize faces, but could also have implications for understanding conditions such as autism, where face detection and recognition are often impaired from early childhood

Short-latency preference for faces in primate superior colliculus depends on visual cortex
Yu and Katz et al. show that neurons in primate superior colliculus (SC) exhibit a
preference for faces within 40 ms of stimulus onset. Inactivating the lateral geniculate
nucleus eliminated all visual responses in the SC, indicating that the short-latency…

Study reveals the brain’s uncanny ability to recognize faces under suppressed awareness
A study has found that our brains detect face-like images faster than other visuals, even when suppressed from conscious awareness. Minimal facial features are enough to activate specialized brain mechanisms for face recognition.
'Super recognisers' - people with extraordinary face recognition abilities 👤✨ - do not see more detail in faces, instead, they naturally look at the parts of a face that carry the best information for identifying faces.
