Let's face it: The lateralization of the face perception network as measured with fMRI is not clearly right dominant by Ina Thome, José C. García Alanis, Jannika Volk, Christoph Vogelbacher, Olaf Steinsträter, Andreas Jansen

“…To address this, we determined the hemispheric lateralization of all core system regions (i.e., occipital face area - OFA, fusiform face area - FFA, posterior superior temporal sulcus - pSTS) in 108 healthy subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We were particularly interested in the variability of hemispheric lateralization across subjects and explored how many subjects can be classified as right-dominant based on the fMRI activation pattern. …”
