{"pk":26209,"title":"Analytic Eye Movement Patterns in Face Recognition are Associated with BetterPerformance and more Top-down Control of Visual Attention: an fMRI Study","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Recent research has revealed two different eye movement pat-terns during face recognition: holistic and analytic. The pre-sent study investigated the neural correlates of these two pat-terns through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).A more holistic pattern was associated with more activation inthe face-selective perceptual areas, including the occipitalface area and fusiform face area. In contrast, participants us-ing a more analytic pattern demonstrated more activation inareas important for top-down control of visual attention, in-cluding the frontal eye field and intraparietal sulcus. In addi-tion, participants using the analytic patterns had better recog-nition performance than those showing holistic patterns. The-se results suggest that analytic eye movement patterns are as-sociated with more engagement of top-down control of visualattention, which may consequently enhance recognition per-formance.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"eye movement; functional magnetic resonanceimaging (fMRI); face recognition; analytic patterns; HiddenMarkov Model (HMM); top-down visual attention."}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2mf970bq","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Cynthia","middle_name":"Y.H.","last_name":"Chan","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Hong Kong","department":""},{"first_name":"J.J.","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wong","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Hong Kong","department":""},{"first_name":"Antoni","middle_name":"B.","last_name":"Chan","name_suffix":"","institution":"City University of Hong Kong","department":""},{"first_name":"Tatia","middle_name":"M.C.","last_name":"Lee","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Hong Kong","department":""},{"first_name":"Janet","middle_name":"H.","last_name":"Hsiao","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Hong Kong","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26209/galley/15845/download/"}]}
