My article entitled "The role of face shape and pigmentation in other-race face perception: An electrophysiological study" has just been accepted for publication in Neuropsychologia. Dr. Charles A. Nelson is a co-author on the manuscript. The paper describes an ERP study I carried out at Children's Hospital Boston in which I measured the neural response to computer-generated faces of different races. The key contribution in the paper is the dissociation of race-specific face shape and skin color, making it possible to determine how each cue to racial category independently contributes to the ERP response. |
