Sentence examples for processing changeable from inspiring English sources

A dominant view of face perception proposes that regions in dorsal and lateral temporal cortex, notably the area around the STS, are specialized for processing changeable facial features that are important for social communication, including facial expressions [13], [14].

This suggests a stronger interaction between the neural pathways involved in processing changeable and invariant facial information than has been previously assumed.

It has been suggested that different neural pathways are involved in processing changeable and invariant aspects of faces (Haxby et al. 2000; O' Toole et al. 2002; Kanwisher and Yovel 2006; Ishai 2008; Pitcher et al. 2011).

One pathway (including posterior superior temporal sulcus, pSTS) is responsible for processing changeable aspects of faces such as gaze and expression, and the other pathway (including the fusiform face area, FFA) is responsible for relatively invariant aspects such as identity.

Although Haxby et al. (2000) emphasized the role of the pSTS in processing changeable facial cues (e.g., gaze and expression) and the FG in facial identity, a recent meta-analysis found that FG is also engaged during gaze processing and that this cannot simply be attributed to a response to facial stimuli alone (Nummenmaa and Calder 2009).

This suggests that the ventral face perception system may contribute to processing changeable facial features and that the posited functional dissociation between the roles of the dorsal and ventral core face perception areas may be less clear-cut than often assumed.

Enhancement of activity for negative versus neutral expressions has been observed with different neuroimaging techniques in occipital lobes [59] [62], fusiform gyrus [63] [66], and superior temporal gyrus [67] particularly implicated in processing face changeable features like emotional expressions [16].

For example, models of face perception suggest that the analysis of facial identity occurs largely independently of the processing of changeable aspects such as expression.

Contrary to this, recent work has shown FG involvement in facial expression perception, but it remains to be determined whether it is involved in processing other changeable properties, such as gaze.

Models of human face perception suggest that human observers deal with this problem using separate functional pathways, with the pathways involved in the visual analysis of identity being partially or fully independent of the pathway involved in processing the changeable aspects of faces (Bruce and Young 1986, 2012; Haxby et al. 2000).

The aim of this study was to probe the interaction of the pathways involved in processing identity and changeable aspects of faces.
