What's special about a #SuperRecognizer (SR) #brain?

Testing lab-identified SRs from the #BerlinPolice with 3 Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation #FPVS #EEG experiments, we targeted general visual & face-specific processing.
FPVS: general methodology & experiments. Top: Schematic of a 6Hz visual stimulation frequency involving presentation of five base stimuli (b) and one oddball stimulus (o) per cycle. Bottom: Schematic of the three experiments: 1 Face Identity Discrimination; 2. Category Selectivity; 3. Duty Cycle

Check out our new article for young readers (ages 8-15) on heart-brain interactions and interoception! 🧠🫀

I had so much fun co-writing this with @agatapatyczek.bsky.social @el-rei.bsky.social with the support of @michaelgaebler.com ✍️

👉 Share it widely with curious young minds
Yay for #scicomm ✨

Super-Recognizers, or Su-Perceivers? Insights from fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) EEG - Brain Topography
The term Super-Recognizer (SR), which describes individuals with supposedly superior facial recognition abilities, may be something of a misnomer. In the same way that blind individuals would not be c...
