Face and Mind

Face and Mind consists of a series of seminal research and review papers on face perception published by the author and his colleagues over the last 12 years. Young includes detailed studies of the types of impairment to face perception which can follow brain injury or psychiatric illness, and analyses their implications for our understanding of the brain, from the functional structure of mental processes to the question of consciousness itself. This fascinating book will be of interest not only to psychologists and neuropsychologists working in the field of visual perception, but also to cognitive scientists generally.
