DOI: 10.1002/dev.21546
Abstract: Face processing mechanisms are tuned to specific low-level features including mid-range spatial frequencies and horizontal orientation energy. Behaviorally, adult observers are more effective at face recognition tasks when these information channels are available. Neural responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dev.21764
Abstract: During infancy, vision becomes tuned to environmental statistics. For example, infant face recognition "narrows" in response to the frequency of face categories in the visual world, inducing out-group effects that disadvantage other-race, other-species, and other-age… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep45920
Abstract: Ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, dominance hierarchies emerge through social competition and underlie the control of resources. Confronting the disruptive influence of socioeconomic inequalities, human populations tend to split into groups who legitimize existing dominance… read more here.

Auditory but Not Audiovisual Cues Lead to Higher Neural Sensitivity to the Statistical Regularities of an Unfamiliar Musical Style

DOI: 10.1162/jocn_a_01614
Abstract: It is still a matter of debate whether visual aids improve learning of music. In a multisession study, we investigated the neural signatures of novel music sequence learning with or without aids (auditory-only: AO, audiovisual:… read more here.
