Faces and bodies are perhaps the most salient and evolutionarily important visual stimuli. Using human functional imaging, we found that the strength of face and body representations depends on long-term experience. Representations were strongest for stimuli in their typical combinations of visual field and side (for example, left field, right body), although all conditions were simply reflections and translations of one another. Thus, high-level representations reflect the statistics with which stimuli occur.
面部和身体可能是最显著和进化上最重要的视觉刺激。使用人类功能成像，我们发现面部和身体的代表强度取决于长期的经验。在典型的视野和侧面组合中（例如，左视野，右身体），代表是最强的，尽管所有条件都是彼此的简单反射和翻译。因此，高级代表反映了刺激出现的统计数据。
