Abstract: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and neuroimaging studies suggest a role of the right occipital face area (rOFA) in early facial feature processing. However, the degree to which rOFA is necessary for the encoding of facial… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract There is growing evidence that the occipital face area (OFA), originally thought to be involved in the construction of a low‐level representation of the physical features of a face, is also taking part in… read more here.

Abstract: The fusiform and occipital face areas (FFA and OFA) are functionally defined brain regions in human ventral occipitotemporal cortex associated with face perception. There is an ongoing debate, however, whether these regions are face-specific or… read more here.
