Face processing, often referred to as face perception, is the cognitive and neurological process by which the brain understands, interprets, and recognizes human faces. It involves specialized brain regions, such as the fusiform face area, to decode social cues, emotions, and individual identities. This complex visual processing system is crucial for human social interaction and communication.

What experts have said about Face processing
1 statement · 1 mixed
Face processing combines innate neural structure with maturation and experience.
“the sort of consensus Is it's both hardwired and innate in some sense that there's something there in the brain already at birth that's experience independent. But then it also depends on normal maturation and development and experience. And so people like Rebecca Sachs at mit, for instance, has done functional neuroimaging studies on babies and shown them faces and ask the question, how does this whole system develop? It's always a mixture.”
