2D and 3D Components of Face Processing: A mid-level vision analysis Chen, Kao & Tyler (2007, Cerebral Cortex)
Faces from the FERET database, filtered in a 4th-power Gaussian aperture and normalized to the full contrast range
Scrambling the phase destroys the local features global structure but retains the Fourier energy and net activation of linear receptive fields
Zeroing the phase and reflecting destroys the local features global structure but retains the symmetry as well Fourier energy and net linear RF activation
Rotating the face varies the local features and Fourier energy, but retains individuality and emotional recognition
Inverting the face retains all the local features and Fourier energy, but reduces individuality and emotional recognition
