Guided by influential models of face processing, efforts have been expended to uncover the neural substrates subserving the many facets of face perception. Extending this work, the present study used functional brain imaging (fMRI) to explore the relationship between the operations supporting the explicit extraction of sex and gaze-related information from faces. The brain imaging data showed the right superior temporal sulcus to be preferentially involved during assessments of gaze direction and a region of the left fusiform gyrus to be involved during sex categorization. These results provide support for the distributed face-processing model advanced by Haxby and colleagues (2000).
在有影响力的面部处理模型的指导下，人们付出了努力来揭示支持面部感知多个方面的神经基质。作为这项工作的延伸，本研究使用功能性脑成像（fMRI）来探索从面部明确提取性别和与注视相关信息的操作之间的关系。脑成像数据显示，在评估注视方向时，右侧颞上沟优先参与，而在性别分类时，左侧梭状回的一个区域参与其中。这些结果为哈克斯比及其同事（2000年）提出的分布式面部处理模型提供了支持。
