Abstract: Facial identity matching ability varies widely, ranging from prosopagnosic individuals (who exhibit profound impairments in face cognition/processing) to so-called super-recognizers (SRs), possessing exceptional capacities. Yet, despite the often consequential nature of face matching decisions—such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.250921
Abstract: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can create realistic synthetic faces, which have the potential to be used for nefarious purposes. The synthetic faces produced by GANs are difficult to detect and are often judged to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2025.2005
Abstract: Super-recognizers—individuals with exceptionally high face recognition abilities—are a key exemplar of biological visual expertise. Recent eye-tracking evidence suggests that their expertise may be driven by exploratory viewing behaviour during learning, but it remains unclear whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1167/jov.24.7.13
Abstract: Super recognizers (SRs) are people that exhibit a naturally occurring superiority for processing facial identity. Despite the increase of SR research, the mechanisms underlying their exceptional abilities remain unclear. Here, we investigated whether the enhanced… read more here.

No Association Between Face Recognition and Spatial Navigation: Evidence from Developmental Prosopagnosia and Super-Recognizers

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci15111140
Abstract: Background/Objectives: Previous studies have reported associations between prosopagnosia and spatial navigation, but it remains unclear whether this link is merely coincidental (i.e., observable only in prosopagnosia) or genuinely interdependent (i.e., such that variation in one… read more here.
