Emotional expressions evoke a differential response in the fusiform face area

Emotional expressions evoke a differential response in the fusiform face area

It is widely assumed that the fusiform face area (FFA), a brain region specialised for face perception, is not involved in processing emotional expressions. This assumption is based on the proposition that the FFA is involved in face identification and only processes features that are invariant acro...
