Quotes by Maximilian Riesenhuber

“We found that faces arent special in the way many scientists once thought. Rather, they are particular group of objects which the brain has learned to distinguish very well, much as it would for any other similar objects that are critical to human survival and communication.”

“The findings are exciting because we are now going to apply this technique to probe the neural bases of face perception deficits in autism.”

“We think that this is because we are face experts, having learned over many years to spot fine differences in upright faces, but not in inverted faces. That experience makes faces unique, but theres nothing scientifically special about faces.”
