Abstract

Despite the intense studies of face processing in the past few decades, we know little about what neural correlates are involved in the configural and featural face processing. The aim of the study was to find whether the neural correlates for configural and featural face processing is different and if so, where and how their neural correlates operate for the face recognition. We found inferior temporal gyrus
