Individual differences in face recognition

Face recognition abilities have been assumed to be homogenous within the population of control subjects, and specifically individuals have been assumed to be all equally expert in this domain. The first step of this study is to re-examine this claim by gathering data on a series of behavioral tasks on face processing sensitive enough to profile each subject's abilities very precisely and to capture possible individual differences. Secondly we are also interested in looking at correlations between the patterns of behavioral data obtained and each individual's brain responses to faces.
