I study the neural basis of social intelligence and face perception in humans and other animals.

People perceive illusory faces, but task demands decide whether they’re treated more like faces or objects. Early brain signals aligned with face perception, later activity with object perception. The brain maintains parallel representations, enabling flexible responses to visual stimuli.

No apologies necessary - good question. In terms of the species we know that they orient to face-like patterns and illusory faces (like real faces). We also know other face patches and structures respond similarly to real and illusory faces. Like I said, it’s just not simple.
