    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Perceptual learning is a key perceptual skill that people possess,\nin particular, it contributes to their ability to distinguish between\nfaces thus recognize individuals. Recently, we showed that anodal\ntranscranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) at Fp3 abolishes\nthe inversion effect (that would otherwise exist) for familiar\ncheckerboards created from a prototype. Because of the close\nanalogy between the inversion effect obtained with checkerboards,\nwhich we use as a marker for perceptual learning, and the\ntraditional face inversion effect (upright faces recognized better\nthan inverted ones), we investigated the effects of anodal tDCS at\nFp3 during an old/new recognition task for upright and inverted\nfaces. Results showed that stimulation significantly reduced the\nface inversion effect compared to controls. The effect was\nstrongest in reducing recognition performance to upright faces.\nThis result supports our account of perceptual learning and its role\nas a key factor in face recognition.",
