## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the neural mechanisms underlying face perception, recognition, and emotional expression processing in the human brain. It delves into topics such as the distributed cortical network for face perception, functional compartmentalization in the ventral temporal cortex, and the role of social cognition in facial identity and emotion recognition. The use of fMRI data and multivariate pattern analysis is prominent in decoding mental states and visual contents from brain activity. |
